I bought a sporterized 1930 vintage 1903 Springfield [with an unmolested recvr, bad stock and a 21 inch bbl] a few years ago for another project but it didn’t work out so it lived in the back of my safe until we shot our Punitive Expedition [BAM] match last month. I used my krag rifle but an ‘03 would have been the correct rifle to use so I decided to remilitarize the ‘03. I didn’t think that it was worth a criterion barrel job so I decided to make the wood fit the bbl. Had a sanded scant stock and a mix of milled and stamped parts to work with. I’ve removed the scant grip, shortened the forend and upper handguard 3 inches, shortened the firing pin spring polished things and refaced the bbl which was way off. Alot of sanding next. Operates a whole lot smoother now. Attachment 227816
