1903 NRA sporter #1276050.
Pretty sure it shows a sale by the DCM.
Thanks looking to trade it and the trade will be easier to...
The Navy had Ammo made up in M1 clips for the converted Garands. Only a relatively small amount was ever loaded this way and it is pretty hard to find.

There is a Lyman 57SME (Springfield Mauser Enfield) it will fit an Arisaka as well. So yes there is a Lyman that fits either a Mauser or an 03. The Lyman 48s on the other hand are specific. The...
I would add if you see evidence it is a recovered drill rifle I personally would not buy it. The pictures look like a rifle worth $500 if the bore is okay and it is not a recovered drill rifle. I...
This box is dated 1910 probably still a pretty common item then I imagine more then a few Krags were still issued then.

This is a forging void on a H&R. They are pretty common but this one is a pretty bad one.

Every one I have seen was a real rough blue with lots of milling marks showing. If it is high polish it is a refinish.
Gordon Bethune and I used to work for the same company. He went on to bigger and better things just google his name and you will see he should have some money. He also put 20 years in the military...
Joe Becker is my father, Kenny Rowen settled in Waterville because his car broke down there. He rented a room from my aunt and took a job at Rimers. The gun making venture ended up costing my father...

From the old photo albums, Joe Becker on left Kenny Rowen (AKA Russo) on the right.
Here is a real Sporter. The big thing to look for is the barrel has never had a rear sight installed so it is shaped a bit different and does not have the notch that aligns the rear sight.

The action is a Savage 1920 just lengthened for a longer round the 1920 was made for the 300 Savage 250 Savage round. Probably made up as a sample to offer to a South American country but could...
They do not say so on the site on the site but I bet $5 they are restored drill rifles. If they call the bore frosted then it is probably pretty poor.
Got this NRA Sporter 1903 at a pawn shop a couple months ago for $400, my best deal in a long time. They thought it was just another sporterized 03.

Pictures are not good but I would say repop about 99.9% sure it is not real.
Most of them seem to be in pretty nice shape since they were rejected and not issued. Last one I sold I got about $250 for it and it was very nice.
Note the last picture shows the pommel and you...

Last one I saw sell went for $400 your mileage may vary but they are a desirable bayonet.
All M8A1s should have the belt hanger that is what made the M8 into the M8A1. The metal tip is a post war thing no as issued WWII M8A1 would have it but it could have been added to one.
Here is a...
