I may never be able to prove that it is a genuine NM but it sure shoots like one. 10 shots at 100 yards off the bench, 150 gr. hpbt,LC68 brass,accuracy load of 4064 from an old Lyman reloading book. The range gods were smiling upon me during the match also. Jim

The bolt has a straight handle and may be a SHT bolt. The authentic 03A3 had a swept handle NS bolt.
IMHO

Looks like a very good shooter. What type of front sight?

Another member, BobS I think, built a similar configuration. I don't recall what size group he achieved.

Hello Allen,standard width "A". I can see the wider Marine Corps type sight better but i'm loath to change anything as good as it shoots. I lucked out on the load as this was the first time I shot this rifle and it dialed in in 5 rounds.
