Title: 1903 Springfield un-sporterizing project
Post by Baltimoreed on Aug 30th, 2018 at 12:09am
I know it’s not a Krag but a few years I picked up a sporterized 1930 vintage 03 Springfield that was not drilled for scopemounts. It had been cut to 21 inches. Well the original build idea didn’t work out so I recently decided that I would kinda un-sporterize it. It wasn’t worth a true rebarrel but I had an ugly scant stock which had a mix of milled and stamped parts so I figured that I’d cut the stock 3 inches to match the bbl, pick up some milled parts and reshape the stock to eliminate the ugly scant grip. When my milled lower band arrives I think that i will move it a tad closed to the rcvr. I also plan on cutting finger grooves using a round router bit and my HF milling machine. It needs a bbl trim and recrown too, gotta borrow my buds crowning kit again. I will post photos soon.
