Yep. Several custom gunmakers in the early 20th century did it with '03's. Get the late Michael Petrov's books "Custom Gunmakers of the 20th century", Vol. 1 and 2, in which some known ones are shown. The takedowns made by Holland's, Westley Richards, and Rigby long ago are another source for ideas on the subject.
