Attached are a couple of photos of the repairs on my Springfield 1903. Earlier consensus says that they were probably made at a Greek arsenal. This post is for anyone who is unfamilliar with these repairs and what they look like.

I believe the Brits used a similar repair on their Mk III rifles to save the thin top hand guards on those rifles.
I have had several Greek returns, both 03 and M1, and the repairs seemed,as noted above, to be simple and utilitarian although not all that attractive.Comment

I had similar repairs on one of my British (Red Star) M1903s."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."
