I just got the barrel off the 03A3 drill rifle receiver I picked up last Friday, and removed the mag cutoff lever, the weld material , and cleaned it all up some. Also I had an old bolt and a few parts , so I now have a nearly complete 03A3 action for under $100. Now to acumulate some more parts and build an 03A4 clone. JR

Obtained a good barrel with som exterior wrench marks but with an excellent bright shiny bore and no apprecable muzzle wear and got it installed today. JR

Just got delivery of an 03a3 stock that I obtained off Ebay pretty cheap. It needs a crack repaired and some TLC but looks serviceable. I'll post pics next week as we've got the 2 grandsons with us this week so no time to work on it now. JR

 

[jwrauch]

Repaired the crack with superglue this evening after work and I think its going to look pretty good. JR

Deleted all duplicate images as requested. Nice looking receiver by the way.

Thanks. I got the stock repaired and I think it will look good when finished. Will post pics next week. JR

I have always wanted one but too dang pricey.!!

 

[jwrauch]

That's why I build them. Just about all of them that are left are arsenal rebuilds anyway. This will be #2. JR

Id try it but lack knowledge , time, tools.

JR you will have another nice build when done. These receivers are perfect for custom builds just like the Mauser actions. Only thing is the receivers are so hard to drill and tap for scope mounts. I did one build 2 years ago and re barreled the receiver. I used another 30.06 barrel because I wanted it for big game hunting. What stock do you plan on getting for it?

 

[jwrauch]

I've gotten a military stock that needs some work yet. JR

 

[jwrauch]

Here are a couple pics of what I've gotten done on this one so far. I need to order a parts kit from Sarco and apply a finish ti the stockJR

Looking nice JW. Assume your comment about the cut off lever and weld makes the receiver a demilled one. Nothing wrong with that considering they are so inexpensive and can be reworked.
I've seen a few reworked demilled 03s, and they were nice.

Nice job. Now for a range report. Fun with Guns. I have two in the works. Just bought a new in grease 03A3 barrel for a drill rifle.

 

[jwrauch]

Finally ordered the parts kit. Should be here on a week or so. JR

 

[jwrauch]

Parts came in today and I got it about 95 % done . I'll post pics soon. JR

 

[jwrauch]

It's pretty much finished except for the front sight which wasn't included in the parts kit. Here's a few pics. JR
