M1903 Build project (shooting results now up!)

[Claven2]

Excellent, but I just hit a small snag. I checked the bbl I was planning to convert and, of course, it has an 03A3 front sight base. Darn. Now I need to find an M1903 dovetailed front sight base, pin and screw and maybe a slotted spline too for the sake of ease. A converted bbl just won't look right with an A3 front sight assembly

Would also be nice to find an affordable rear sight base that does not have a bunch of staking marks on the zeroing shelf.

If anyone's got one on a duff barrel they would like to offer up (for $) to my project/cause, just shoot me a pm

I checked numrich and am leery about ordering repro parts (!)
