I resolved before the weekend ran out altogether to post a few more photos--first off the requested trapdoor buttplate on the 1924. As you can see, the factory cleaning rod remains, plus room for two spare rounds.




Shot #2: the 3-leaf rear sight, which I believe is unique to the 1924. All three leaves fold.





This last also illustrates how slim the early rifles are from the top down. I'm a certified fan of the full-stock guns, but the sporter-length rifles have a lethal elegance all their own.

I'll wrap up with more than mere eye-candy. Here's a group I shot with the 1903 a few days ago, from a rest at a hundred yards. Hornady 160-grain round nose, my own hand load.



The scope certainly helps, even though by modern standards it has optics that my ten-year-old son likens to a funhouse mirror. But yes, even these old guns with walnut to the muzzle can still shoot like a house afire. Thanks for looking!
