1903 Springfield Sporter
|
|
Someone spent some time on this one. Anonymous but beautiful work in very usable 30-06 cal. Original Remington 1903 built in 1942. Looks German to me. Especially with the Kahles Wien H/4x60 in claw mount, knife handle bolt, tang safety, engraving, and weirdly shaped butt stock (which fits me quite well, by the way).

Not sure what happened? Had five more photos in the first post.

Do yourself a favor and finish this project with a milled trigger guard and follower. Then it'll look a bit more like this, and function better:

I didn’t build it. Someone with way-more skill created mine and kept all the 1942 parts. As far as replacing the trigger and mag plate I’d have a hard time reproducing the engraving.

I've seen it all now, engraving on a stamped trigger guard!
If you'll email me your address, I'll GIVE you an original machined Springfield bottom metal and follower. I just noticed yesterday that I had one lying around collecting dust. My email address is in my Profile.

The engraving has been done rather well to say the least!!

xausa - sent you a PM.
93x64mm - photos don’t do it justice.
