Jeff McHenry broke a drill bit cutting the holes needed in the receiver to mount it! It's a Lyman 48 S, the rifle is a reproduction of the National Match Special as described in Brophy's epic chronicle "The Springfield 1903 Rifles" on page 203. The stock also needed cut where the sight elevation sits at its lowest point.

Very nice guns. I'm looking for one myself!

I have always been a fan of the 1903's, mine is a 1932 Springfield receiver with a 6/43 barrel.

A WWII Remington 1903 had been on my wish list for a long time. When I attended the CMP AMC in August of 2020, I picked up this beauty at the Talladega Marksmanship Park. It has a RA 5-42 dated barrel. I believe the stock is a scant replacement stock; but, it has a beautiful finish.
