These parts are certainly not necessary for everyone, but can sure save the old nose. They will also keep you from wrecking a good prone score. It appears that Darreld has had that pleasure.
Word to the wise. I found a headless cocking piece and thought I'd halve my group size.
I assembled it and dreamt of ultra fast lock time, but when I squeezed off the shot, I had a click! I'd bought a 1922 cocking piece and they are too short to work in a 1903

I have a reverse safety on one of my rifles. It is functioning. Its in a WL3 bolt, 1.3 mil SN, has CMP papers from 2002 but Im assuming the bolt was set up by a previous owner.
If I can find a headless cocking peice will it function just by replacing the standard one? Would be nice to make this a step more match specific.
Here are some better photos of my reversed safety and headless cocking piece, these parts were in a NS bolt
