1903a4 receiver tearing up tap...

[amadeus76]

You're trying to do a build on the cheap with a receiver that is apparently not what it should be. You've denied a sensible answer to your question...what answer do you want? If you tell us what you want to hear it will save us time. I'd say three of us think about the same way on this.

Wow... I've never had this problem before. I'm sorry I asked a question about something I don't fully understand and thought that maybe it might be something else other than a brittle receiver since those seem to be limited to early 1903's and not the later Remington made rifles.

But thanks for being a dick.
