1903A3 Springield stock

Is that a Herters "world famous Belgian" stock? Looks identical to the one Dad put on my Springfield in 1962. Horse wreck broke it in two, 1981.
 
I don't know but the barrel is marked Barnes and Johnston. I don't know who made it but it feeds the cartridges really really well and seems to be quite accurate. The action is marked 1951.
 
I forgot we had discussed your gun in another thread. That really is a fine rifle. Not sure I would want to use it as a beater for bad weather. Might be a collectable. Perhaps consider rebarelling to 404J? Did you confirm the bore diameter?

Curious what is COL for 404 Express?
 
It's likely to be used only at the range. I agree it is nice rifle and deserves to be treated well. I don't plan to do or change a thing on it. It shoots a .411 bullet which is hard to find..I havie been using barnes ttsx bullets but those are for a 405 wincjester which shoots a little slower.
I neck up 338 win mag brass to .411 and fire a full charge of IMR4320. To me in North America this is as big as I think I will ever need.

Just curious where do you live in zbontario. I grew up in Michigan . My dad love to go to Cabads to fish. We fished the Goliath river. Also a lot of lakes that did not have names but simply numbers. We caught coolers of Northern pike that were very dark in color. The fish often did not need the lure to be in the water. Dangle it a couple inches out of the water and they would go for it. Good memories
Also spent time around Nipigon and Wawa
