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).

Poor thing. Good deal on a hat rack though!

Did they have any plastic flowers for sale?

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:)
