    I just saw a 1903a3 drill rifle in a local shop the other day. This one had a hole drilled up through the front action screw all the way up into the bolt log recess. Likely the front action screw soldered in place or worse. Magazine cutoff of course welded up, and a plug in the chamber. I hadn't seen one drilled up through the action screw before.
