I've got a bubba-sporterized 03 Springfield in a really oddball maple stock- - - -drilled and tapped for some sort of weird looking Weaver style scope mounts and an antique Weaver steel tube 4X scope. It shoots better than it looks, thankfully! I also have a handful of "paperweights"- - - -investment cast Parker-Hale unfinished receivers that take an 03 bolt and Mauser bottom metal. One of these days I'll finish machining one of them and see if it can be heat treated to the right Rockwell numbers to try firing a few rounds (with a long string to the trigger, strapped down to a big truck tire). I've also got several of the P-H receivers that use Mauser bolts.


Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!
