lol yea it levels out, the little knob was loose, and it gets crooked. I guess for such an old design of a rifle, the rear sights were seemingly complicated, but they can be utilized with 5 different methods of use! And the windage adjustment knob is convenient. So I was pretty impressed with that. I really like the peep sight too.

44spl mentioned in an early thread that it should have a Star guaged barrel. To me, it reeaaallly looks like a Star stamp on the barrel between the 1:00 and 2:00 positions. This is not normal however, to my knowledge all Star stamps were placed at the 6:00 position. I will attach a link to a photo of a Star guaged stamp.

IMR 4895, you won't be disappointed.

Also, on the m1903.com page left column is a Manufacutre Dates link. It takes you to the VI Shooter page, it's very valuable. Let me know if the stamp is right and the loads work.
