Bombdog- If you can email photos, I can post them for you, as I love to see photos of Marine '03's. I'll send you my address in a PM.

BD,

I replaced the Smith-Corona butt plate on my Remington 03-A3 with a Remington butt plate. It was slightly scuffed so I had it re-Parkerized by East Coast Bluing. The photos show the color of both butt plates is pretty much the same.

Thank's Merc,
i think i have a guy, the one who's 'apprenticing' me on old school US military battle rifles... He told me he has park tanks and chems...
i just need to get the barrel band done but didn't know whether it should have been blued or parkerized... i 'll go to some gun shows and try and find some stocks too...
Thanks gentlemen for the pointers...
bombdog, out here...

The 43/44 dated Sedgley barrels are sort of a touchy subject if they were installed by the Marines or not.

But everything Marine in the 576xxx range is higher that I have.

Bombdog,

From my personal records,

Not a hit, but close. For what it's worth, hope this is what you were looking for.
