| Looks good, I like 1903 Turks and I like LW barrels, but open sights? With my eyes no scope means big game at close range. I had 20-20 vision 15 years ago. Maybe you should plan on getting old. |

| Todd, I to like the 1903 Turk. They were a well made German action unless you happen to get one the Turk's screwed up. I bought 30 of them for future project's. The high charger hump is a natural for tieing a square bridge into and I also like the longer front ring.I was pleased to see your's as I am getting ready to square bridge another one right now, but I won't get it finished until some time this summer. To many other project's. |

| Should be standard small ring - .980" diam. w/ a .630" stub, 12 tpi / 60 degrees. IIRC. Someone please correct me if this is not right.

| The 1903 Turk has a longer front ring than a regular small ring. I just measured the one I am getting ready to put a square bridge on at 0.705 that will vary slightly depending on who cuts the culvert off the front. Dia. 0.980 12 TPI 55deg. You can run a 60 deg tap in and thread the barrel 60 deg if you want. |

| Doug, After cutting off the hand guard retainer this one measured 0.705 from the front of the reciever to the c-ring. That was cutting just enough to clean it up. |
