This is PERFECT!

I just picked up an 03-A3 that I simply LOVE to shoot, which means I'm taking a look at some of the less desireable aspects of it and wondering what the heck I'm to do about them.

The #1 stumper is bottom metal. Matt, you have a suggestion?

I REALLY wish that I had the loot to drop on having somebody like James strip 'er down and put the thing back together cuz if ever there was one worth the effort is the da Schpringfield, but I don't. I am convinced that the stamped sheet metal POS that is on this rifle has GOT to go.

Thoughts? Rework a Mauser or Winchester unit?

You know, this 'fire here has indeed changed the way I look at my rifles. GREAT learning going on here.

Thanks a TON James & Matt! Keep it comin'!
