I have a very good looking 303 with the magazine cutoff on the right side. Problem is-- no magazine. I also have a Long Branch and the magazine will not work in the older rifle. Anyone know where I could find the older mag.? I also know this rifle was made between 1907 and 1915 and is a Mk III w/out the *. Thanks for any help. |

first off i know that most of you know this but here goes anyhoo,write down all serial nubers on your firearms.make multiple copies,have trusting people keep copies for you and keep a set for your self that way even if a thief stole your file cabinet along with your guns you have copies of serial numbers available.second,buy a engraver from sears or lowes even home depot,i then remove butt pads on rifles and grips on pistols(basically a hidden place so as to NOT detract from value of the firearm)and i engrave either my name or my drivers license number then i reassemble the firearms.now you have a way of identification on your firearms.when you engrave them make it deep enough so that it is impossible to remove it and if it is removed it is obvious.also take pictures of the engraved parts.that way if someone removed your engraving you could still prove it was done with pictures and serial numbers

On the engraving! I've already copied all my serial numbers to a piece of paper and a digital file which I keep on a CD. But I really that engraving idea.

Thanks everyone. Since I posted this I have looked at Numrich's Book again. They have the MK III listed as a No I MK III. Took a closer look at the diagrams and they have a Mag cutoff illustrated sao it is the same. I will call that gun shop, Steve. May save some bucks or find stuff for my other smle's. As for theives, a buddy of mine was robbed last year and lost some guns and got hit a week later before he got his alarm installed. The scumbag got caught trying to sell a Ducks Unlimited shotgun. Thats the only one he recovered. A**hole got 2 yrs in pen and must make restitution for the other 7 guns. What's the chance of that? Should allow us to take it out on their hide.
