    Many threads here are about drill rifles being recovered into shooters again. Search and you shall find, we also have a gunsmith frequenting us that specializes in Springfield...

    All of the re-production M1903A4 rifles ( sold by Rock Island and others ) were built on recovered drill rifle receivers.
