Good evening. I am looking for a set of the three screws for a Warner Swasey mount.
About seven years ago I picked up a Springfield M1903 barrelled action from ODCMP. The receiver was drilled for the WS (later plugged). The rifle (by serial number - 352,988) is listed in Canfield's "03 Service Rifle" as being assigned to the 4th Infantry as a WS Model 1908 equiped sniper rilfe in 1910. The WS M1908 I have scope is serial numbered to a rifle only 150 away.
Given that the barrell (SA 04-09) appears to be orginal it seemed a good canidate for restoration. You'd be amazed at the number of screws, pins, etc that go into a M1903. Anyway, I am down to finding these last three screws to complete the rebuild. I'd appreciate any advice/direction.
