[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1716252, member: 60453"] I bought my 1903-A3 here in Colorado Springs when I was stationed here in 1991 or '92. It had a Ramline synthetic stock on it, and someone had threaded the barrel and put an M14 muzzle flash suppressor on it. My youngest brother put an S&K scope mount on the receiver and it sports a Shepherd scope now. Nothing else has been done to it, but nothing has had to be done. It will put 5 rounds into about .75 inch at 100 yards with any bullet weight or brand I have tried so far, and will go tighter with Sierra 180 grain GKs or PH's and Speer 180 grain Hotcors or BTSPs. Trigger pull is the standard two stage 4lb trigger, with no creep and no over-travel. I haven't done anything to it except the scope and mount. It is the most un-finnickey rifle I've ever had. It will shoot 200 grain Speers and Sierras into an inch or less, too. [/QUOTE]
