I have M14's and Garands but this is my first 1903. A gentleman i've known for years, and have been trading guns with has had this for a longtime. He had shown it to me once a few years back. I expressed my intereste in it then but he would not sell. He told me it was given to him by his uncle. Well the other day i'm talking with him about gun trading and he says "are you still interseted in that old gun, that 1903". I said i might be how much? " He told me 300 and i said, "consider it sold if it will shoot". Anyway, here are some pics of it. I brought it home tonight and plan on shooting it tomorrow. Even if it doesn't shoot good i plan on keeping it because i've already gotten attatched to it. The stock looks to be in pretty good condition, no cracks just the usual dings here and there that you see in these old military guns. The metal looks good as well, not a lot of wear on the finish. There are little R's stamped in alot of places and the barrel has a flamming bomb and the numbers 8-42 under it on the barrel. So,Tell me what you think. Thanks
