That's great! Good shooting there. I definitely need to practice more, lol.

That's the idea I was getting from some of the responses I was reading. Your pictures show it on the rifling. Is it a new barrel and rifle? Shooting copper jacketed ammo? Before I shot my rifle, I had completely torn it down and got all the little bits of cosmoline out of everything, so I...

I have an M1903 Remington Modified that was a Raritan Arsenal rebuild with a scant stock. The receiver is in the Dec. 1942 to Jan. 1943 range. The bolt has a "C2" stamped under the safety lug. The bolt handle goes straight down. According to charts I've seen it puts the date of the bolt...
