Johnny, do I see it correctly that the rifle has a stamped magazine guard? Otherwise a great looking rifle!

To do not stop the great pictures by asking questions attached also something from my collection.

Johnny in Texas- is that an original Unertl USMC 8x on your A1?

Very nice rifles all... Hope to be adding another one to my collection tomorrow.

[Bill Wylde]

1923 '03 with 1 in 12" Winchester 30" barrel. Rear sight is 1/3 minute Lyman. Front is Winchester. Scope is a 5A. The palm rest appears to have lost some cork over the years, but actually has been reduced in places to fit the hand of the shooter.

Bill, would you mind showing some closeups of your rifle? Thanks, Jim

[Johnny in Texas]

The rifle is as I found it and I believe the way it left the USMC, it was bought from a widow as is and resold 1 year later to me by the same buyer that showed it to several collectors I know the day he stole from the old widow. They told me it had the A3 trigger housing when she brought it in and the wear patterns match the reast of the rifle. The scope is original as is the can purchased after I purchased the rifle. It also has a Remington cut-off the trigger guard is early Remington A3 and the modified handguard is a Remington '03 handguard if I recall correctly. I was just greatful to find it for sale and have the cash to buy it. Other USMC snipers have been noted with Stamped trigger housings I have been told from WWII photos but I have never seen the photo's. Many beautiful rifles in this thread. I let the Col. in charge of the USMC sniper rifle program at Quanico shoot it a couple years ago he was very impressed that the stock still has proper bedding points and will hold 1 MOA. with ease.

Here's my (only) two:

[Rick the Librarian]

Beautiful rifles, Dick - what's the "dope" on the standard M1903?

[Dick Hosmer]

Thanks Rick; they really pale in comparison to some of the others shown, but then, I'm not an '03 specialist, that simply being the "late" side bookend to my SA collection.

It is a Springfield, 570865, barrel SA/11-13, small boxed JFC. Have a "very close" bayonet in equivalent (bright w/blue line) condition.
