Somethin' don't jive in this mofo! http://www.trfindley.com/pgsnstmps03.htmlBut of course, I only care about shooting it. Manufacturing details are for Mauser [bleep] and guys that like those rifles with the lever thingies on the bottom. Travis

there is conflicting info everywhere you look.
the one I had ,had a six groove barrel, rather unusual.
there are font sight hoods available,but they are easily damaged and lost.

Yeah. I tried figuring out where a Mauser came from one time.
I'll file 03's in the same category... grin.

So, if you have a rifle stock stamped "O.G.E.K." how do you know if it's Ed Klouser or Elmer Keith?
Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

Elmer's has a box around his initials... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/rifles/117_2563.jpg)

Are those about 200 elk to your left about 100 yds out? Why didn't you shoot one of those? An 03A3 would work.

Mike Venturino did a great article on the O3A3 with loading data in the November 09 issue of Rifle magazine no. 247. Went back and re-read that article, very informative. Mike

Blue, the lower serial numbered 03's (under 800,000) were a concern for many years, as a few dozen of them blew up due to brittle actions. At this point I suspect it's probably not a concern, but I would not push the loads very hard: http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle_sales/m1903-m1903a3/not an 03 expert but sounds like yours was rebarreled

Pat, I have heard that some where, but i figured the Rem. Corelocks couldn't be to hot for this rifle, so I got a box from one of my ranch hands and fired about 10 rds. through the rifle, it was about a foot low and a foot to the left, got it zeroed at 100 yrds and put it away, was wanting to know who Shivell is ??? guy i traded for the rifle said it was his grandfathers,and he thought it was to old to shoot. rifle runs great and very clean. rio7

I've said in the past I'm not terribly shy about stuffing powder in cases. But that's one where I would be...
