Bzzyman, good points.
I did ask my local smith about a swap-over, and he said it would probably run between $100-300, depending upon whether he could save the barrel; possibly the "notch the recoil lug out" that Chuck mentioned, I don't really know. If I ever run across a good 03A3 receiver or barreled-receiver I might take the swap on as a project. In the meantime, your idea about posting factual and reliable reports, with serial numbers and markings is completely valid. Many of us would benefit from the info. I hope anyone who has that info will post it.
