Very nice looking 03-A3. Is this a picture of Foxy or his friend?

Fox, your friend's Springfield Sporter shows some resemblance to the plainer more subdued 1970's Winslow Arms Co. Rifles. A number of them had a very similar grip and comb. Yours has much nicer figure in the wood.  Note that I am not talking about the extreme French Whore Grades. A Detroit Pimp would kill to have a rifle like this one. 
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Makes me recall Patton's remarks about a pimp in a cheap New Orleans whorehouse--
I concur with the similarity--the Winslow rifle shown looks a great deal like the Springfield I have --Black Pachmayr pad seems to have a bit of a radius or concave section-- also, the rosewood grip cap on your foto shows a diamond in the center.
Thanks for the nice reply-- RWTF

Unfortunately, I'm frequently reminded of the Winslow stock design on many trap guns I see now days!!!!

Agree- some of the current SBT's stock and high rib-- not my cup of tea. Guess I am "Old School" but to me, a trap gun is a pre-1960 M12, with older style milled rib, sandblasted receiver top- 30" full, deluxe grade wood, grip capped with WRA logo-- MC or straight stock-pad--
I gave up shooting registered targets in the 1980's- RWTF

Keith,
Your Winslow looks much like my Enfield custom, except mine has no diamond insert in the rosewood grip cap.

Keith,
Your Winslow looks much like my Enfield custom, except mine has no diamond insert in the rosewood grip cap. Not my Winslow rifles Vall. Those were both photos I found in Google Images. I checked because I recalled the similarity in stock design to the rifle Fox has. I thought the gunsmith who sporterized his Springfield might have been influenced by their design. I think some of the plainer versions of rifles from the Eighty Four Gun Co. had similar styling too, but strangely, I couldn't find even one photo of a rifle built by Eighty Four.
