Recently picked up a sportered 1917 and 1903A3. Both look like they can be re militarized fairly easily: The 1917 is an Eddystone, with a High Standard barrel. The bore gauges just over a "0" on the CMP muzzle gauge and is shiny with strong rifling. The bolt will not close on a field gauge. The 03A3 is in a nice looking maple stock. Hasn't arrived yet, but is described as being a Remington with metal intact and having a Smith Corona barrel with a "very good bore" . Came with a nice looking leather sling Plan is to re-militarize them when I can find the wood. |

That is a nice looking stock on the 03. Do you think it will be hard to find a stock? |

03A3 stocks are fairly common. The challenge will be the 1917 |

The 03A3 still has not arrived, but I discovered this additional pic on the auction house website: |

The sported 03A3 arrived at my FFL's yesterday and I got a chance to look it over before it went into the safe for the obligatory 10 day "coolin off" period. It is as described, metal is unmolested, SC barrel on a Remington receiver. Bore is shiny, rifling is strong, muzzle gauges a "1" on the CMP gauge, won't close on a field gauge. The stock is as pretty in person as in the pictures. Now, to see how it shoots.. |
