US model M1903A4 Springfield bolt action 30.06 Rifles. Built using original Remington-made World War II M1903A3 actions and turned-down bolts. These Rifles feature newly manufactured 4-groove Criterion barrels identical to the originals. Each receiver is carefully drilled and tapped using replicas of the original "Redfield" rings and mounts and a new improved copy of the M82G2 scope (manufactured by Hi-Lux Optics). Each barreled action has the original military parkerized finish and Full "C" stock, identical to the originals. SLING NOT INCLUDED.

A little pricey, but I would love to own and shoot one of these.

Sometimes companies use old drill-rifle receivers for their A4 build.  May or may not matter to you - suggest researching if you're going to plunk down that much cash for a replica.

Thanks for the info, but pretty much window shopping and wishing I could buy one.

Next gun show find Les Tam.  He will be next door to the Puuloa rifle and pistol club booth.  He can hook you up with the real deal.

IIRC, he's either contact or maker of the leather slings for rifles for rifles like the 1903, M1 Garand, M1a, etc.  Is that the guy?

I think my dad was wanting for a sling like that for his CMP 1903.

You should be banned for posting that kind of stuff.  At the minimum, questioned for your having that kind of stuff on file. . .  ;D

I would believe it if I hadn't met Rocky in person before. Kinda ashamed to admit that though...  haha

And that pic does remind me of someone he is "friendly" with though. So who knows... lol

I was given one of his heavy leather slings as a gift. That was a good gift!
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

That pic referencing Les is not cool. His slings are awesome and coveted by many national shooters. He makes them for junior shooters and donates when he has the time. Got 2 of his slings.

This is Les



He's a constant fixture at the gun shows and our dedicated treasurer at Puuloa Rifle and Pistol throughout the years. He also helps with the Historical arms people with their events.

I met Les.
Cool Guy.
Got skills.
If he was /is offended, my apologies to him but I've met Les and HE has a sense of humor.  :rofl:

And Drck, I had to search high and low in my vast repertoire for a pic clean enough for this Family oriented site and besides, you leave Mac out of this !  :grrr:
