Number one, high capacity magazines, no one needs them. Number two, we’ve got to fundamentally change the way we train police. An unarmed attacker with a knife, they need to shoot their legs, not their heart. C’mon man. And number two, well I probably shouldn’t, I’m out of time.

Well, her daddy was the Springfield 1903, no suffix. One like mine, made in 1918 with the original “flaming bomb” stamped barrel dated 1918. The machined parts work just fine, thanks. I have a small quantity of brass clips (yes, clips) and a decent amount of GI .30-06 she generously shares with her grandchildren M-1s.

Boiled linseed oil is a fine finish for all that American walnut.

Good shooting to you and cherish that piece of history. They are the rifles my father trained with and carried to WWII.

Not sure but I think this model of rifle was what the sniper used on the Saving Private Ryan squad. I'm 61, my elderly father (in his 80's) is where I got it from. Out of the blue, my sister just brought it over one day. I was floored when realized what it was. It was in his possession in the late 40's early 50's. They flew around a lot after WWII in the private world. This one is originally stamped US Remington Military issue.

The WWII sniper version was the 1903A4 with either a recoil spring mounted Unertl or a 2.5X Weaver scope.

I want to find an original Weaver in good condition at a reasonable price, a little difficult to find. Didn't know about the Lyman, Arobb, thanks for the tip.

Also the Lyman Alaskan 2.5 I believe.

That might not be mint condition in a year or so.

Slightly used. High KD ratio. Will trade for 100 shekels and 50 commie skulls. NO LOWBALLERS I KNOW WHAT I HAVE.

Well used ones are still going strong after 80 years. They don't make'em like they used to.

See my post above. Mine is 102 years old and I use it to test handloads for the M1s. My 70 year old eyes don’t see so well anymore but my “03 and I can hit to within a minute of a bad guy at 300 yards.

is that a fully semi-auto assault bazooka sniper with a flamethrower cannon launcher barrel, a baby strangulation strap sling, a 100 round magazine clip with mustard gas projectiles?

I was looking for a reason to post mine, everyone posting ARs and such, I was worried antiques wouldn't be welcomed, mine is an oldie though, 1906 built and still dead accurate 114 years later, I'm taking her hunting this year.

Bruh, I have the same exact model in mint condition. Put countless coats of linseed oil on her. It is perfection in a firearm, especially with the stamped parts operating smoother than the original machined ones.

It was passed to me by an elderly relative. I was shocked when I unwrapped her. I don't think it's ever been fired. It had the original yellow packing gunk on it when I cleaned her up. I am going up in the woods soon to give her a ride. I do believe she will be handy one day.

Please, for the love of God, make sure ALL of the cosmoline Is out of the barrel before you shoot it. That shit can get hard like rocks. Take it outdoors and use a bronze bore brush and a petroleum-based solvent to clean the barrel. Pop and his fellow soldiers used gasoline, I say again, outdoors.

Thanks for the tip. It's been wrapped up in a closet for at least 60 years. She's gonna get the ultra spa treatment at least a couple times before I test her out. I cleaned all her obvious elements and she's tight..thanks for tip on the barrel

You are in for a treat. Despite the reputation of a 30-06 having an uncomfortable kick the rifle's weight mitigates it. It kicks much less sharply than a Mosin which fires a nearly identical performance cartridge because the Mosin is considerably lighter.
