        This is my working Mark I, it got me a bronze level medal (2 points off silver, IIRC) at Oklahoma in 2012.

            early SA 1903

            This rifle still has the no-bolt stock and the barrel is Feb 1907 (nice bore too) came from the estate of an old gunsmith about twenty years ago.

              Here're my wife's and my five 03's. (she bought them all) Left to Right... 6-18 SA, 7-18 RIA, 7-18 SA, 11-19 SA National Match, 1-19 SA Mark I


              I'll try to post a single photo of each as well that'll show better detail. Darn these iPhone camera's.


              Here's the pristine color case hardening on the cut off of the 1920 National Match SA 1903 which appears to have not been used very much if any in its 94 years.

                    You guy's all have Great 03's! Like Rick once said, wouldn't it be great if everyone lived within a mile of each other? What a 1903 gathering every so often. Hell, I'd build an old time Hardware store or Gun shop with a Potbelly wood stove in the middle of the room for everyone to sit and hang around while they would drink Free beer and eat Free cold cuts while everyone talked about guns, politics, guns, women, guns, etc. There would be old guns out in racks and guys would bring in their favorite shooting irons and knives and such. I actually remember an old timer and good friend who used to have a place like that in Kansas City, MO. Barney Joe Davies place. Paupers and kings all knew each other and old Barney always had the best of company while he'd pass around one of his old 03's, Krag's, trapdoors, Sharps, Winchesters etc.
