Re: 1903 springfields!
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ArcticLight</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Yep you have a 1903 in that thar rifle as advertised but have 03a3 parts on it.
Get onto e-gunparts.com (Numrich) and get the correct parts on there - that's a beautiful rifle!!!
They do not have the sling swivel in stock right now (Except gold plated)...
Here's a link - I'd be leery of anyone else selling parts for that rifle...

(The Gov could have swapped them on in the war, but it would be more historically accurate to get 03 parts, not to mention they are milled and look better).

1942 3348086 3607999 (M1903A3)</span>
If you look at my pic above you can see the floor plate, a bit, that it's milled and not stamped...

Agreed, the milled parts would look better... and, oh yeah! Thanks a bunch pal...! now I'm on a new mission to correct this rifle
Seriosly though, my Greek return has the milled parts, and it looks awesome! so you are right, I need to correct the rifle, as it is a beautiful example.
Here is my Greek Return as of this past weekend:
