    How about a list of USMC traits on these rifles WITH PHOTOS. Seems as there might be enough interest to warrant the effort.

    I read somewhere that after newly manufactured 1903 recievers where blued or parkerized, then the bolt hole, or bolt well, was then reamed. This left the bolt hole bright and unfinished. This is one of the ways to tell if a reciever has been through a rebuild and refinish. Is this true? I have rifles on both sides of this question, bright and finished.

    I recently had this come up;

    Q: Why won't my bolt sleeve screw all the way till it locks?

    A: The firing pin is not pulled back far enough, check the safety is engaging the proper slot. (Buehler safety problem.)

    Not a problem with the military safety.
