    My Remington 03-A3 Drill/Parade find

    Bid on it at a local auction, kind of a impulse buy but I couldn't resist the 03 at $33.00, even though its been demilled, plugged and is basically a paperweight I had to do the paperwork for it but its a toy I just couldn't pass up. Plastic stock, chromed up, normal parts that snag and cut were taken off. Serial shows it was made in Aug. 43. May make a good looking lamp;o).

    Restore it to shooting condition. You got it for almost nothing.

    Here's how mine came out.

    That is one nice restoration. If my receiver wasn't carved up like a left over pizza I would definitely attempt it
