Thanks Rick.

Hey guys,

Been away a long time, anybody please check the SRS for SA #972163. Think I asked years ago, and this number was no hit. But don't remember if it was even close to any. 1918 receiver...

Thanks 2111 for the photos and The Professor for the information. Bought a low numbered blued Remington M1917 years ago at a show. Maybe a year later checked a parts guy out at the same show. ...

RIP Major, always a first class site. Condolences to the Culver family. Learned so much when I was here every night years ago. First firearms forum ever joined. Best M1903 men in the world taught...

Serial number, and dink before the number, Hatcher's Hole, stippled butt plate. No markings on the stock? Wrench marks...sounds like a USMC 1903 to me. Congrats!

Off topic, but am still noted as a "Very Senior Member" - OFC. "Old Farts Club". No complaints, proud of that...just wonder why? Jim is certainly an older "OFC".

Hey old friends, Jim and The Professor. Have SA number 1,367,742. SA '05 A marked barrel. Front sight stud is pinned at the front. Accordin' to the Professor's scarce book about the 1905-1910...

Hey guys,

Denatured alcohol will remove the patina from the wood. Lemon oil will clean off any grime and feed the wood, and not remove the patina.

Thank you VI,

Missed ya'. Your site and John's charts have been of great value in my '03 education.

Greg,

Take a look at the "Armies of the Past" site. Might have a real deal bolo. Call if you see one you like. The site is not always up to date.

Think that pattern of bolo might be a Plumb...
