Springfield 1903 NRA Sporter???

[dude67]

Thanks alot fellas. I'm thinking of returning a military stock
to it. I know that the receiver will ever have the unsightly tapped holes for the scope mount. But it nice and I want to Un-sport it. Where could a guy find the sight that mount on the right hand side??

The guys are right, no way will it be a cheap project, plus it would be super easy to screw it up. I would contact Chuck-in Denver and ask if you could UPS him the gun and have him evaluate the cost to restore it. It would be well worth his time & the shipping cost. I have done Garands, Carbines, and some 1903's in the past 10 years, and the early 1903's are a pain in the *** because they were was made for over 40 years and there is a ton of parts on the market, US, foreign, and worn out. Plus the crooks who sell pure junk.
Pictures are a help but they usually don't tell the whole story.
Good luck it will be a fun project and you will learn a lot.
