I have one of the original Latigos on my customized 03A3 since the 1960s! It is still flexible. I like it also except the price and I have 3 brand new surplus 1907 leather slings in the cabinet. I keep them flexible with Lexol. It isn't as good as I would like, I havent found any as good as neatsfoot oil, nut it is messy, any recommendation?

planeflyer21 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Nice rifle! And a soft case too! That's leagues above the cardboard boxes mine came with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmackc Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) I was surprised when the gun shop owner opened the cardboard shipping box! This is a good touch with an Inside pocket for literature ,a outside zippered pocket for 3 magazines and a cleaning kit. The literature was excellent and included a good discount order sheet for M1A accessories (magazines) etc., a one time deal for new owners. After I shoot it awhile I will strip and Tru-oil the stock. The rifle looks good with the new old stock M-1907 leather rifle sling. The sling is stamped with a manufactoring date of 1977. I still like the looks of Jacob's Beaching slings and the way they work, and may order one, if I can decide what color would look best. Comments Jacob or anyone?

Sisco Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 That is a beautiful rifle. Always think of that rifle as a "defender of the free world". Must be some leftover memories from my fascination with them as a kid in the 1950's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Outstanding purchase Mr. Mack love that rifle. A 1903, and an M1A would be great additions to my lovely Garand. I have decided to send my Garand to Fulton Armory to make it competitive for the "Garand class" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmackc Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Fulton does an amazing doing the M1, you will really enjoy shooting it. I thought i needed to get the M1A NM before some politican changed the US Supreme court and messed up the 2nd amendment and caused a civil war. I loved my old M1 but so did my 50 year old son.

Sisco Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Thanks Brothers. Took a while to dial it in with M80 then adjust for my reloads. But I am happy with the result. those are standard, not National Match sights. not going to scope it. It taught me sight picture discipline already, learned scopes and red dots have made me a little lazy. Like the feel, guess I am a little retro old school, still love my 10's though.

Wash About this time I start talking about a woodie. Humor aside, my first ever rifle as a 12 year old was a sporterized 1917 30-06 Enfield design made by Winchester. This brought back memories of carrying and shooting that during deer season- a wood service rifle stock has a feel like no other. I love my 10's, but this is the service rifle of my youth, and when I was a kid I couldn't read enough about it. So yeah, it feels fantastic. Can't wait to go again. A totally different shooting experience than an AR 308. Definitely not as technologically advanced, but solid as all steel and wood can be. First thing my son said, "That is a beautiful rifle".
