Project gun for this winter. 1903 (1918 serial number range, slightly over 800k), with a 4-30 4-groove barrel. The rear sight has been butchered, and I'm curious as to what I need to get it back to original. Got one picture of it before my camera died, so I hope it's enough to tell. Even in the shape it's in, I figured that it was hard to pass up for $150.

Good deal. The action alone should be worth that.
Just bring it by,and we'll go shooting.

$150?!?!?! Score!
When you get a chance add some more pics, especially of the top of the receiver.

I want more pics. Charge that camera.

Show us some pictures of what is bad, I have alot of small parts for 03s and may be able to help with small parts. Sounds like a fun project.
Here's the rest of 'em. Sorry I took so long.

I'll check my box for any 1903 rear sight parts,I may still have some?

Found a rear sight on Ebay for $20, so the rebuild begins!

The sight came in today.
