researching last night i could see the gun being sent to G&H for the stock and side mount. Not sure about the barrel work otherwise why wouldn't they stamp it with there mark. I need to get the safety converted at some point does anyone have any recommendations of someone good that could convert it to either a lower wing or winchester type safety.

Ed La Pour makes a great M/70 style safety, I have one on my custom Springfield 1922 M2.

Ed Lapour is presently out of stock on those three position ones. You could convert that to a two position one.

Any chance we could get a picture of the mount? Particularly the base.

After a little research i think i am going to switch the safety out even with higher rings clearance is going to be an issue. The base is a dovetailed rail the quick detach side mount slides into.

Sure looks like it was done at G&H .
I read somewhere that a Winchester 70 safety could be fit to the 03 ?

Give Pam and Doug Fincher a call. He did my Mauser safety for me and does great work, 936/275-9042.

I had a Chapman/Wisner Model 70-style two-position safety available through Brownells installed on my custom 03-A3 in 6.5-06 & had custom S&Ks fitted which really set it off beautifully.
That really is some specimens you have there congrats and thanks for sharing I’m turning green here... just gorgeous!

Found a local smith who i felt was competent to do the buehler style safety conversion. Will post some pics when i get it back and put some glass on it.
