Hello, new guy here from Ohio.  A year or 2 ago I bought a carbine from Dupage trading that was advertised as a former movie prop, I think Gunga Din or something like that.  The carbine was not complete and I knew that when I ordered it but could not pass it up for $200.  I got it looked it over and put it in my gun rack and have not done anything with it yet.  Now I see that the CMP may be having a Roosevelt Match at Camp Perry this summer and since my 1903 is a low number rifle I cant shoot it so I would like to get this one up and running so to speak.  I know I need a front sight blade, a hand guard, a rear sight, rear sling swivel and a safety.

Being a former movie prop...  it's possible that it's also a cutdown rifle, which is not uncommon (check Atticus Finch shooting a rabid dog with a sporter in To Kill A Mockingbird).  As Chuck said, post some pictures, especially showing the muzzle/front sight, rear sight, and overall showing the stock.  Also, measure your barrel from the muzzle to the closed bolt face.  Anything other than exactly 22 inches is almost certainly a rifle that has been sporterized or faked.

Thanks a lot Chuck...   Now there's ANOTHER movie I gotta go watch!!!
