Really great tutorial. Hope I never have to use it. I didn't read where you said what version/series this 1903 is. You don't mention a magazine disconnect (different from 'disconnector'). My 1903 was made in 1943 and has the magazine disconnect. At what place in the reassembly do you have to address that part?

I only take mine out rarely; I enjoy shooting it, but the gun's value is great enough I don't want anything happening to it. I was given it by my Stepdad, it was his brother's service issue during WWII.
