    sportered 03 Barrel--worth re-militarizing?

    I recently nabbed this sportered 03 barrel thinking that it could be remil'd. now I'm not so sure. It has been heavily polished and blued and has what are probably light wrench marks and a flat spot near the threads. The spline cuts are still present.



    There is a shallow drilled hole on the threads that doesn't go very deep and is not actually over the chamber area. The bore is shiny and rifling sharp. It measures about a .75 on the CMPicon muzzle gauge


    Is this barrel worth trying to remount military sights on? Is it even possible? If the 03 rear sight can not be remounted, could this be used as an 03A3 barrel or would the cost of making the cuts for the front sight be prohibitive?
