    USMC 1903 Sniper CLONE finished

    Re: USMC 1903 Sniper CLONE finished The scope was one of the last ones that Mr.Parsons completed. I've read Col. Brophy's book on the 1903 and he states that 8 to 10 lbs. of upward pressure is what was needed on the 1903 rifle. So I used business cards close to the fore end until I could...

    USMC 1903 Sniper CLONE finished

    Re: USMC 1903 Sniper CLONE finished Next up was modifying the handguard. I used a high tech rasp :-) Some minwax stain matched the finish just fine. Then I peiced everthing together to check fit. The bolt wouldn't clear the scope when elevation was at it's lowest so I used a...

    USMC 1903 Sniper CLONE finished

    Re: USMC 1903 Sniper CLONE finished Then, as I had the stuff all mixed up I bedded the scope blocks for two reasons. 1 it made them sit good 2 it made it a WHOLE lot easier to drill and tap the screw holes. You only get 1 chance to drill a hole in a gun barrel. On a side note...

    Re: USMC 1903 Sniper CLONE finished Well 2012 is roaring along today. We're swamped! After much wood removal "Captian Cob" set to work with the bedding compound. The barrel didn't sit straight in the forearm so I removed wood and added Devcon I used Devcon on the recoil lug and tang with...

    USMC 1903 Sniper CLONE finished

    It's cool that I'm not the only one doing this. Mine's built using period correct parts and is clearly a fake. It all started with a deal on a Unertl scope with broken cross hairs. I sent the scope out to Mr.Parson for repair and re-furbishment but did not have it "restored". It's a 16X 1 1/2...
