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. "Bolt is poor and caked with residue" (assuming bore here).Description is a little lax to say the least. Whoever is putting those up is obviously not a very good 1903 person, much less an observant and detail oriented person.

I identify and pull M1903 and M'03-A3 rifles for the CMP auction. And I write them up. But I didn't do that one, nor did I see it. Otherwise, I would have fixed it.

I did this one.

That one looks like the 03A3s that our post sent in to trade for M1s. You should see those sorry pieces of sh*t, (the M1s.) We have spent hundreds trying to keep them running. I know that I am beating a dead horse, but it irritates the crap out of me, every time I think about it.
