Now comes the measuring of the drawings so I can try to reproduce the rifle rack. Once I create the drawings I'll make sure I post them. Thanks again Adrian for discovering these amazing pictures.

As I mentioned, I have the original scans in far higher resolution than here, so if you need detail, let me know which parts I can concentrate on for you.

Best Regards,

Adrian

Great pictures!
On the '03 Springfield, it has a non-standard added hood piece that fits over the front site.
The front sites, on '03's, are very small and hard to see, and this would give you a better site picture.
The '17 has much better original sites and was an all around better rifle, but was dropped because of pettiness that it was of British design.
