I don't see any reference to that. It is the Pederson cut Mark I however I can't find documentation on a different model of trigger guard, or on the fact that a normal 1903 milled follower will not...

I got a milled follower for my 1903 Springfield Mark I... (made 1918)... IT wouldn't fit at all... Spend half the day filing it down, but then realized the trigger guard may be wrong, I havent seen...

Looks like you are off to a great little hideaway, only question I have is when can you come down to SC and start on mine!!
Forum: Military Rifles
A lot of the 43-44 barrels I see are basically new, by that time they were issuing garlands to most of the guys so after going back to the armory the 43's and 44's have the new green finish on the...

Nice shot, and great to see people out shooting military rifles. I have a 1903 I want to take out and do the same thing with! Next purchase will probably be a M1 Garand as well but I wanted that...

Wayne, you would be selling yourself short if you didn't visit the World's largest Harley Davidson dealer just to look :) Also take a drive down on the beach when you get down there, you can't do...

I'm smelting in a pot that actually almost burnt my house down three years ago....forgot I had oil going for my okra, after 10+ mins on high came back into the room as fire was crawling up the...

Food, Bullets, Lead, Powder, Land, and Water in that order :) The only precious metal I would buy would be the one that I can cram down the barrel if I need to. Each is a good investment as the...
From my experience MagGar and other factory free with purchase mags are junk most of the time. The stainless of the MagGar is slightly better than the blued but not by much...For the price an extra...

Sounds like you got it figured out :) I like to do the same but its a 45 minute drive to the range, and lately people are getting wise to farming the trash for the brass...

It also depends on your state.....I know you can actually have a pistol length barrel but have to have a arm stock on it to make it legal without sbr paperwork being done, but if you put a rifle...
Forum: Military Rifles
Favorite is a 1903 Springfield Mark I, then a 1853 Enfield (obviously not bolt action) Both are amazing and beautiful guns that dominated their time periods. I like the 1903 over the A3 version...
Forum: Military Rifles
Yeah thats the only reason I went a little higher in number to the 1918 variety because of the heat treatment everyone talks about... I didn't want to take any chances. The price of an older one...

Will do... Providing it comes to me in one piece, it is supposed to be a Pattern of 1903 Mark I made and barreled in 1918 w/ Pederson cutout. Has arsenal stamp where it came into RIA probably...
