Thanks John.
Yea, somebody got themselves a fine rifle.

Have you got a link?

Thanks Retread. I’ve just got the one 1903 now and it and the bayonet are up on the CMP forum for sale now.

I'm using my old thread to post some more photos of this rifle on so that I can in turn transfer them to a file. So I'm bumping this thread to the front to accomplish this.

Hi Wolf. No, I haven't put it up yet. I think that I'll take pictures of it outside today since the weather is above freezing.
Thanks for reminding me! I'll get right on it! :hello:

Thanks Labayo! I'm glad you like it.
I won't miss it all that much though. It's just a thing. Things come and go. Id give every single thing I've ever owned if I could just have all of my old dogs...

The routing cuts on the grips of the bayonet that is going with the rifle are as sharp and untouched as is the wood on the 03.

The rifle's original bolt is the Correct J5 type with the straight handle.

There is minimum wear on the bolts surface?

Allen, I've just lost interest in my 1903. I never shoot it and it just sits in the rifle cabinet. This rifle will definitely make somebody else happy now. I want to use the money I get for it to buy...

The bluing on this rifle is beautiful.

Not many of the WWI produced S.A. 03's survived in this condition 100 years later.

Not many WWI produced 03's survived in this condition.

These Eagle stamps, when seen on 1903 stocks in this position, only appeared on some of the rifles made at Springfield Armory in 1918.

All stamps on the rifle are untouched and as sharp as the were the day the rifle was assembled. This stock and hand guard has what appears to be its original linseed oil finish from 100 years ago....
