jim62, you are down to just making bunk up. You know nothing about this subject.

My 1903A3 with the Bishop stock belonged to the USMC, and is not drilled an tapped for iron sights. The comb is too high for the stardard military iron sights. It is drilled and tapped for a one-piece Redfield base and ring set, and had an M84 scope sight mounted on it.
