Greeetings:

Whilst I posted my finding and buying a 1903 yesterday, while cleaning it, and looking at the markings or lack of, I decided after looking at my e-copies of the manuals for the 1903, that there wasn't much information on how the rear sight was utilized. So after a few false starts in web searches I found this posting and thought it might be of some use to us neophytes and old timers in using the sights of a stock 1903.

003a.jpg If I managed to do this right, this is a pix of my 03's rear sight, if you look closely enough, the volley sight 'U' is missing on the top cross bar of the sight ladder.

Hope this is interesting.
