Louis: In response to your last post, here are some pics of the barrel and vise marks.

ARRRGGGHHHHH! It's getting worse. This discourse made me start trying to remember everything about that gun. It was a decade ago. I recalled a punch stippled butt plate that came back to my foggy...

Bet that was it. I looked at the AV-19 barrel and it has vice marks on it. D****it! I think I remember that gun now. I got it for the tight AV barrel to put on my CMP shooter and was going to use the...

What was the barrel date from your notes? I didn't keep a lot of notes on some of the early guns I had. I may have gotten it from CMP South for parts/receivers. I still have every 03 I have bought,...

Thanks John and everyone else. Guess at this point all I can do with it is say "yay, it's a USMC receiver". I had originally intended it for a sporter project since it had a tomato stake barrel and a...

Pulling some clunker/parts guns out that I'd accumulated and happened to notice something for the first time. This RIA receiver had a punch mark in front of the serial. It also has a very small prick...

Trolled the CMP auction site and saw this Mark I. Notice that the description says "LZH cartouche" and "TIA/FK" rebuild. Photos are good enough to determine the faint EHD and obvious RIA/FK marks....

John: I'm sure you've already referenced this, but there are some Rimkunas trigger pics in Brophy if it helps any.

Thanks Para. That makes absolute sense.

I recently had the CMP custom shop put together a BEAUTIFUL 1903 1941 USMC Sniper clone. Shoots like a dream. When I received it, I gave it a cursory check that included a MW/TE measurement. It had a...

A forum member PMd me with some concerns over the stock. When I bought it I had suspicions about the lack of a proof P but figured the price was right regardless. I knew the metal was genuine. He...

RTL: Awesome G&H!!

Jim:

Yes. That was a colloquialism. Should be "Winchester" STYLE. It is indeed of Springfield manufacture.

OK. All opinions welcome and wanted. I bit on this from Gunbroker a couple of weeks back and it came in today. My initial was that the metal was indeed a 1928 NRA sporter. A second look told me that...

Great Pics! Lighting was excellent, and the subject wonderful.

You know. Sometimes you slap yourself over your own stupidity. I had always had a vision of the 1903 Mann receivers/test barrels sitting nicely upright and normal in the V device, until I saw a...

Kragluver is right. The archeology group at Middle Tennessee State University found the real site. While there were multiple archeological factors that they used, the primary was the battlefield...

Having a forgetful moment. I have an S marked sear, no drain hole. My foggy brain says early, but can't remember the time frame. Assistance appreciated.

Is that the one at Great Northern Guns in Anchorage? If so, he came down about $4K from when I first saw it 2 years ago.

I was sorting through my 30/06 brass, building loads for the Garand/Springfield match at Perry this year, when I came upon a forgotten cache of NM 1963 brass that I had purchased on Jouster from Norm...

He kindness to this former 1903 rookie will never be forgotten. Godspeed Michael Petrov. I hope the Big Man hands you that long lost Wundhammer.

I have had Federal .223 brass in my AR drop primers (bought once fired, dropped primers 2nd firing), as well as 30/06 in my Garand (leaky primers, one dropped primer with a mild blowback). Tried the...

Thanks Michael! Will get it in the mail.
