Thanks for the info on the SA JFC cartouche. I had heard some speculation along those lines and your input seems to confirm what I had heard previously. Any additional insight into the A.H.A....
I have recently encountered two cartouches that have so far eluded "positive" ID. If anyone can help, I would be much obliged.
1. An A.H.A. with no box or circle P, on a C stock with the drawing #...
I've come across a late production (344541) RIA receiver, 1-31 SA BBL '03, with many of the traits usually associated with Marine re-builds. But before plunking down any cash, I was wondering if...
Thanks for your input, you were very helpful.
I have a chance to pick up an M7 GL that looks like an original. Can it be used for display with a rebuilt 1903 and is it historically correct in that context?
Thanks for the help guys, if the price stays right and I get the piece, I'll share the results of the "rescue operation." Thanks again.
I'm looking at a pretty nice Remington 4M range 03a3 barreled action that was the basis for a thrown-together bubba special. Fortunately, the receiver has not been drilled and tapped and the metal...
I remember seeing something, some time ago, to the effect that it is against federal law to return a "de-milled" military firearm to shooting condition. Recently, I've seen a number of 03a3 receivers...

Hello to all. I have a series of questions pertaining to the M1 grenade launcher as developed for use with the 1903 Springfield. 1. Are they legal to own? 2. If so, are they actually available? 3. If...
Could someone shed some light on the point at which the stock reinforcing bolts were begun and the pins discontinued? Also, at about what point were the "winter" trigger guards and blued upper bands...
Here are some pics:394753947639477
The barrel date is 12-36, which seems to coincide with Col. Brophy's estimate of a beginning point of #1,505,411 and ending point of #1,510,016 for 1936 receiver production. That doesn't mean it's...
I'm looking at a Greek "mix-master" that appears to have the original barrel and N.S. bolt body, all in very decent condition. The parkerizing appears to be the standard, dark-gray GI type I would...
I've come to realize, unfortunately, that much of what one reads and hears about the '03 is just plain wrong. One source in particular presents itself with great certainty but is apparently based...
The stock is a low-wood example with two reinforcement bolts, finger grooves are present and the comb is more sharply defined were it meets the wrist than later examples that I have seen. It appears...
I haven't purchased the rifle and don't have access for pics. Serial number is 1434203. Thanks for your input.
I ran across an exceptionally nice pre-WWII SA '03 that doesn't appears to be re-finished, but is mounted in an SA type-4 "S" stock in VG-EXC condition with some unusual markings. The stock is...
