I know that the NRA Sporter barrel is a bit larger in diameter (as per Brophy) but the profile in the chamber area looks closer to an 03A3 than it does to an 03.
How close are the 2 in actuality vs...

Where did you get the replacement stock ?

Get a new mil spec Criterion barrel.

I use a ribbed black rubber mat, covering the whole bench top. They have it on rolls down at the True Value.

Why try to form etc when ammoseek is your friend - Privi...$14 a box (plus shipping) to your door

Go to the dollar store and buy a cheap nail polish.

A possible grenade but it's his face.

If it's one of their '03s, dont bother. They have a reputation of blowing up. If the action (receiver) was made by Remington or SC (if an 03a3), you're good to go.

Do not try to shoot 303 Brit in that. The only similarity between 7.7 Jap and 303 British is the bullet diameter.
Look for ammo at ammoseek, but it aint cheap.

Yep, I agree and was going to suggest this method but you beat me to it.

Try Home Depot, Lowes, Harbor Freight, Ace, & True Value.

I'm not familiar with the Iron Sight Man. Is it because you're looking for a Lyman 57 ?

No, SS is not doing any business. At least not currently. The owner had a serious medical issue a while back and shut things down.
As justa said, they got rid of the rifles but I think he still has...

Are you referring to a banded front sight base ? It might be the same Redfields that I have installed and if so, if memory serves me, under the sight insert there is a small set screw holding it in...

And some poor guy gets flamed because he wants to turn a 98 into a sporter.

WZ-48. And yes, prices have gone WAY outta sight in the past few years.

How much of it is plastic ?
I'm betting at the least, the trigger guard/magazine is.
The description of these on their site is lacking in several details.
I would buy a magazine off the rack if it...

A novel idea but I dont see these in production for long, more of a short production run. One only needs to look at that .22 replica StG44 that was made for a short while. And like Lefty sez, $400 is...

Just like Springfields and Krags - they arent making them anymore. There were X amount made, and as such, prices will certainly go up.
Do a search on a forum and one can read about guys complaining...

Very good parts sources.
Also for issues swissrifles.com is a good place with plenty of help there.

I sent an email to corporate about that garbage. They replied that it's for the safety of their customers. What kind of **** is that ? Looks like the lawyers are now running Cabelas.

Yeah, now that Bass Pro owns Cabelas, it's cable tied bolts and trigger locks and they wont remove them for an inspection prior to purchase. So it's sorry dude, we dont have a return policy on used...

There were much more '03s, mausers, etc made than Johnsons. But even if was a Mauser, it would look like ****.

For whatever reason, it's still an abortion.
