I have just recently gotten a 1903 Springfield barrelled reciever. It has nothing else. The barrel is shot. It is very rusted, both inside and out. It is so rusted, in fact, that I can't read the date on the barrel. Oddly enough, the reciever isn't.
I have always wanted a rifle to customize. I think this Springfield is just the ticket. The rifle was purchased as a member in a lot. The others can be brought back to their former glory and will be.
What calibers have people used in customizing a 1903? I know anything in the 30-06 family, but what has worked for people? This rifle has no bolt, trigger, stock, or sights. It has a serial in the 1,000,000 range, so I am safe there.
Thoughts?
