    A new 1903 Sporter that I know nothing about....

    The gun has been shot more than a handful of times as well as the receiver being tapped for scope mounts so to me it should survive, I'm not too concerned with it blowing up. I won't be putting any old surplus ammo through it anyway, probably just some soft point hunting ammo that's already...

    Tikka T1X

    Not sure I'd be crazy about a Long action .22lr

    Tikka T1X

    I bet its at least threaded into the receiver but man it would be sweet if it could use quad barrels. I don't think Tikka would give us a press fit. We don't need another Ruger American Rimfire.

    Massoud Alright KRG, Let's see if you can crank out a Bravo chassis for theses so I don't have to wait once I get my T1X

    Thanks. I guess ill keep an eye out for a high serial number receiver since I've got all the other parts.

    So would a Rockwell hardness test be sufficient to call it "safe to fire?" At this point with the sight, scope mount, barrel, and stock, I've probably got a good set of parts worth what was paid, if not more. The monetary value isn't too important to me. Id be fine keeping it as is and shooting...

    Well that's definitely disheartening to hear. Are there any other marks on the receiver that would give an indication to the year it was made just to be sure?

    What makes you think the 8 isn't correct?

    Has a "31" stamped on the underside of the receiver behind the recoil lug. Barrel definitely looks to be a 03a3 and has a "44" on the second line, right side, behind the front sight. I see what you are saying about the "6" on the serial number but the 8 looks to be the same as the others.

    Here's a better picture of the serial number.

    I think he paid $450 plus a transfer fee for the rifle. Bore looks great, mirror finish. Ill get some more pictures up and see what else I can find out. I think here was a 44 stamped on the barrel. But some other numbers also. I'll get specifics later. Thanks y'all.

    thats what I saw. My father said there were some receivers stamped Rock Island that were actually finished and serialized later by springfield which is why it would have such a high serial number. the barrel has original proof marks and is a lighter contour at the shank which led me to believe...

    Receiver is marked Rock Island Arsenal. Serial is 822106. Not a crack at in the stock, just a line in the checkering. There's a small chip behind the tang where something hit it hard but no cracks.

    A new 1903 Sporter that I know nothing about....

    This was a Christmas gift from my father this year and neither one of us has been able to find any info on this rifle or pictures closely resembling it. It's got standard markings for a 1903 A3 I believe but has a unique stock, bolt handle, and front sight. All the work done was professional...

    New Rifles 2018

    Thats the truth. Despite advances in technology and manufacturing, production rifles seem to get crappier and crappier every year.

    Is it just me or are rifles getting uglier and uglier? Nothing in that list looks impressive.

    Rifle Scopes Current AR 15 Scope question

    What do you use the rifle for and whats your budget for a new optic? I've got no experience with that particular red dot but its probably on par with the other imported red dots out there. They tend to work well for most but don't hold up to the same level of abuse as an Aimpoint.
