Free time during daylight hours is the one accessory I can't seem to find. As far as the mag holders, I will tell you that it takes just as much labor, and nearly as much material to make one as it does a holster. In fact, I'd rather make a pancake holster than a double mag pouch. It's hard to get people interested in paying as much for the mag pouch as for the holster, but the cost is real.

Sounds like a possible business venture to me! Good job.

I've been treated very well by the folks at the Lebanon Gun Shop. The two times I've went in the Armory in Lebanon, I was made to feel as if I were imposing in some way. I'll not likely return a third time.

Call the dealer's hand and offer $500 cash.

We have a winner! I have a friend who owns a gun store, and honestly, I don't know how he makes it through the day dealing with the multitude of morons who walk in and out his door. He has plenty of good customers as well, but the ones you remember are the loudmouthed know it alls, and the people who stop by every few days to work the actions and dry fire every gun in the store, but never buy anything.

I'd recommend you peruse youtube. There are several very informative guides there on doing it yourself. I did one on mine, and am quite pleased with the results. It isn't difficult at all.

Then it took a pretty good hit in the collectibility department. Assuming it is mechanically sound, it's value would only be derived as a really cool, high quality shooter. Install an ambi safety, and I like it!!!

If the dovetail for the rear sight hasn't been enlarged, it shouldn't be a big deal to replace the sights and grips with original parts. The sights may be hard to find. I wouldn't be surprised if Colt wouldn't replace the sights for a nominal fee.

Looks right from what I can see. If it is in fact 100%, I'd venture to guess it would bring north of $2k, and that's just a guess, as I have nothing to compare it to. EDIT* Upon further looking, I believe the BA cartouche on the stock means an arsenal rebuild at the Benicia arsenal in California. If so, it still looks like a very nice piece. What's the price? If it's an RA, it would mean a rebuild at the Raritan arsenal. http://m1903.com/isstamps.htm http://m1903.com/rbmarks.htm

NEW??!!?? It would be worth a small fortune! I don't believe I've ever seen one in unissued condition.

Move?

My bad. It is cheaper box for box, but you are correct in saying that there are a few more rounds in the 22 Mag box.

He is a goofy, political P.O.S.! I can't believe all of you didn't see this years ago.

This is the first instance I am aware of where a black person was charged with a "hate crime".

I don't recall there ever being a show in Westmoreland in the past. It's a very small town, so I don't know what to expect. It has been very well advertised. I'll be there good or bad.

Very nice package!!!

You can buy 223 ammo cheaper than 22 Mag.

I brought home this old cabinet from the office. They were going to throw it away, as we got a new office with new furniture. It makes a pretty good ammo magazine.

I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond to this thread. I've enjoyed reading all the opinions. I will state that Romney probably won't be quite as bad as Obama. I do believe, however, that as long as people allow the Republican party to foist turds such as Romney upon us, by rewarding them with donations and votes, you will never get an opportunity to vote for a worthy candidate. Sometimes we have to take a bloody nose or two in order to solve a deeper rooted problem. The Democrat party is a lost cause. Right now, there isn't a viable third party. The Republican party is our best hope. In order for them to become conservative, we have to somehow send them a loud and clear message. Politicians aren't willing to freely cede power.

I've had good luck with the site in general, but do not know of the seller you mentioned. I wish they'd institute some sort of a feedback system. I've asked them to do that, but so far, to no avail.

I'm not sure I'm tough enough to wear a pink hat in public.

I love my 1894 Marlin in 44 mag. I imagine one in 357 would be just as good. If I were in the market for one, I'd consider looking for a Marlin. I'd also consider a model 92 Winchester or 92 Browning. I'd only want one of the older, pre safety models.

Reason #15114 why I never go to a shooting range.
