I have a lot of experience with damascus double guns but vintage rifles are completely new to me. Here are some pics of my recent finds. I bought the 1917 just for the cool sight. I cant figure out how to put the pics in the post so you will have to go to the album to see pics... Sporter Album

That sight on the Enfield looks like it could get the late night trucker's radio stations. ;-) Are the 03's all 30-06's? I assume you've pulled them apart and found no maker's marks/names, etc?
