Tabs, It's not the random spoon link thread .

This really was my favorite rifle

1903A3 by Remington
War time production, 42 serial with a 44 barrel that was mint. So used, rebarreld and then arsenalled. Most likely as a training rifle in the states.
Really nice stock and the parkerization was nice as well.

It shot like a lazer, even took it out to 900 yds with very good results by aiming at the top edge of the target.
Dude with AI next to me at 600 yds, he was hitting the center, and I was running a circle around him.. Him scoped and bipodded, I'm irons and sling.
he goes "you Belgian Bastard" (he's still a good friend now)

I shot 3006, Sierra palma heads in it, full power loads, matched to M2 ball ballistics so my sight elevation was accurate in yds.

it never felt uncomfortable, not even after a days shooting, that rifle fit me like a glove and I really had it figured out .

You would make a wonderful EU bureaucrat. Which I would think are the progeny of the Germans who loved to march around in their brown uniforms and boots while saluting their leader.

You are lucky I share anything at all. .

I am familar with the whole 03 family..

I'm sure you are familiar, but you still didn't post a random spoon didya
At least I don't go around posting links to my own thread on other threads, I mean, that just comes across as stroking your own weener and going around telling people about how it felt.. no?


I suppose you are familiar with those as well? Its a random spoon picture.

Some folks don't understand why that is not acceptable.

Marlin Model 17G, 12 Gauge Pump. This gun was built around 1908 I believe. It is my personal home defense weapon.

I don't think much of braggarts and narcissists. Even less when they have a penchant for sadistic tendencies. Unfortunately, the worst offenders often don't care or (even worse) enjoy the attention. It is better to ignore them.

So do I. Mine came from a friend who used it in Vietnam. The serial number identifies my 1911 made in Ithaca NY, 1943.

It is pretty clean considering it isn’t a “Safe Queen.” (Serial number digitally obscured)

I will be receiving a P38 circa 1944 from my Uncle’s estate hopefully soon. I’ll post photos once it arrives.

You have already said you hated me in so many words...many times..

Anybody can say that they can sing and dance but the proof is in the ability to do what they say.
