crash course on buying 1903A3

Nice haul!

Can't tell how much of it is SC but I can see the trigger guard is. Love the muzzle reading as well. I sold my SC to a board member to pay for a pre 10/1 purchase. Still bummed i sold it but hopefully its getting some love now.

Very nice! Now you need an M1903 and M1.

Scott's Gunsmithing (IP) has an beautiful SC A303 just in. Check it out

I'm jealous! Good snag, Melnic!

Since we are sharing

Nice find!

Got this 10 years ago for $300, wish those prices were still around....

The 'C' grip stocks were for sniper rifles?

This was helpful to me

My stock is a type 10 appropriate for the year my SC was built

Best group of 5 rounds out of 4 sheets.
Other than sighting it in the other 2 were pretty good still. That is a 3.5" circle
This is 50 yards from bench
I'm a happy camper to have a good collectAble that is also a good shooter

Good shooting.

Why not bring it to Thurmont in June?

 

[Melnic]

If I can go anywhere on a weekend.
Date?
I need to work on shooting offhand.

I took it out this morning. First @ 50 yards, to zero it, then to 100yards.
Even with the Greek Ammo, its shooting REALLY well and I'm pleased.
I have not tuned my reloads but I am not so sure its gonna get any better if I do.
PIC1 50 yards bench My Reloads
PIC2 100 yards bench My Reloads
PIC3 100 yards bench w/ Greek HXT Surplus

I think anyone looking for a shooter would do well to have a muzzle gauge if not at least do a bullet test and have some way to measure to compare a few of them if you have them all at the same table. I think the muzzle gauge gives a better quantifiable measurement.
