Over a year ago I was given the remains of a sporterizing project. It was at one point probably a nice Remington 03A3 it has a 4 groove barrel and that is probably it's only saving grace. The original stock is long gone and a butched up Fajen is its replacement.
So here is my question. I might like to turn this one into a shooter. I was told that some of the Mauser 98 stocks will also fit the 03 with a bit of relieving. I would really like to use a Hogue overmould stock. anyone know if this has been attempted?
I don't mind the experiment I just don't want to spend the $120 and not get anything out of it but a mess?
Any advice or comments?
