Accessories for the 1903

[au_prospector]

Going to a gun show and will look for 1903 accessories specifically.

5 round stripper clips.
Bayonet
Cleaning kit that goes in the stock
Ammo pouches

Specifically on the bayonet and the cleaning kit, what do I look for?
On gunbroker, the selection and pricing varies wildly.
I want to stay period WWII and Remington arsenal if possible.
This may take more than my little 300 table gun show this weekend I think.

Here is mine with afew odds & ends:

They had a pull through instead of a cleaning kit, also a take down tool. I don't have a real good photo but you can see them on the left side between the stocks.

WOW that is some collection.
Will the bayonet have any specific arsenal markings?

There are some USN training bayonets on gunbroker. Also some real ones for the Garand. Are they all considered Mark I and will fit both the 1903 and the M1?

Are there any markings on the stripper clips I need to watch for originals?
How about the ammo pouches? Who made this stuff and how do I spot originals vs reproductions if there are repos out there?

Thanks for your help and for sharing your very nice collection.

If you want stripper clips to display, get the orignals if you can find some. If you want stripper clips to USE, get some swedish mauser strippers. I got mine from http://www.samcoglobal.com/.

Now that Ive wiped the drool away I can say that is a fine collection. I have aquired a 1903 A3, and I was just telling my wife before i got on this forum that I wanted a carbine and a garand to go with the A3 . I got to say it again love your collection
