    A 1.3 M1903 in a Pre War C-Stock. It came with CMP paperwork.

    This one did not come with PJ Ohare accessories so I sourced them myself.

    It does have some unique features though.

    The wood looks NOS (no pun intended).

    What’s neat is that it has a reverse safety. People that used these on the range use a safety that put the flag on the right when ready to fire. This allowed for them to “nose up” to the bolt with out getting bit by the flag in recoil….

    It has a nicely preserved fine checkered butt plate - never saw any time at parade rest.

    A WL3 bolt…..”I have heard….” That these were favored on the range over nickel steel for less “stiction”…

    With numbers

    Shots 1 and 2 using 26 MOA from last data at 37’.

    Shot 3 moved to 29 MOA.

    Shot 4 gave it a millionth MOA of left wind.

    Shot 16 moved down to 28.5 MOA.

    Really as thin and nebulous as the front sight is burying in the black is highly possible, and will get you high. Probably best to leave a Red CH line of white.

    I think the 1.4 groups tighter but needs to be dialed in a bit more. This one has a bit bigger cone of accuracy with me driving but will still hold ten.

    Both walk at 10 rounds.

    This one has a heavier trigger. I really had to focus on adding pressure to get a good break.
