Resurrection: Restoring an 03-A3 Drill Rifle to a Shooter

[Mike D]

Thanks!
Where in SC are you? I'm near Tiger Town.

30 minutes west of the capital. Not a Clemson fan myself, but they sure played a hell of a game yesterday!

I have a High Power shooting bud that lives on Calks Ferry Rd. off I-20. Sounds like you might be near him.
I'm not a fan either. This time of year is a pain if your plans involve getting to the other side of Clemson on game day.

I can be on Calks Ferry in 5 minutes. Do you or your buddy ever go out to Mid Carolina Rifle Club? I've been wanting to get a membership for years. The CMP approved Garand/Springfield matches sure are enticing, and it's less than 30 minutes away.

My buds a member there. Too far for me to drive to shoot reduced course matches when there are clubs closer to me.
If you want to shoot the biggest Garand/Springfield match outside of Perry, Look into the Rifleman's Weekend at River Bend Gun Club in May.
There is also their fall Vintage Rifle match coming up on 19 Nov.
My Lexington buds and me shoot it every year. The below website has pics and details.

My bud in Lexington tells me that MCRC has a cap on membership and that there is currently a waiting list.
But, matches are open to all comers, so you can enter them if you like. If you happen to befriend a current member, then you can shoot there as their guest.
