Bavarianbrit posted a neat story a few weeks ago about how he was given a 1903A3 sporter as a gift. I have a soft spot for these rifles, in all configurations. They don't have to be super nice, or collector items by Griffin & Howe; there are lots of decently nice ones out here in the USA, and I have been seeing them come up for sale.
I wondered how many (or how few ) of these, or original military configuration 1903s and 1903A3 rifles there might be in the UK, or among SDUK members.
Here is one of mine, with a Redfield base and a Swift 6x40 scope on it. I had removed the Lyman receiver sight to mount the scope ( in the original holes ), and do a little stock work, but I will post more of the sights on other rifles, later.
