"A question for Michael or others. Do your records of pre-war custom 03s include SNs?"

Yes, and in my years of collecting information I have run across a Sedgley that had several holes drilled in the top of the receiver plus had a overloaded cartridge fired in it and small piece blew out of the top. I have also read about a custom sporter that was double charged and it blew. Outside of that I do not know of a single custom rifle built on a LN 1903 that has failed.
