I am looking at an 03 action, 1,400,000 range that has been refinished rather poorly. It's kind of purple. It has already been drilled and tapped for a scope, so I would make a nice shooter out of...

Is it a four groove or a two groove barrel ?

You guys are a wealth of information. Thanks, Tom

After looking at that ammo for a while, I decided not to shoot it. Not because of the primers, but because it had made it 70 years in it's original box. I just couldn't blow it down range. I put...

Guamsst, Thanks for the offer. I didn't get a chance to bring it home from the shop, so I will have to wait until tomorrow. If it needs one I will indeed get back to you.

I will take it down and look inside tonight. I an have never worked on an enfield before, and don't know anything about them. Thanks for the advice. Tom

I shot my new to me 303 today. Pleasant to shoot and I am glad to add it to my 1903 and 1903a3. One problem arose though. The safety seems to try to take itself off safe by it self. It will go up...

The bolt face for a 30-06 is smaller than for a 300 Mag. It would not work unless you have an altered bolt that was head spaced for the mag. barrel.

Thanks for all the good information. I picked up the rifle today, and being my first enfield, I am quite unfamiliar with it. It's a neat rifle, and I look forward to lugging it out with my...

I have been reloading for 40 years, and have everything but 303 dies. The berdan primed I won't fool with. If in fact the brass won't be harmed, then I will probably just shoot it all up and reload...

Thanks John. I don't really like corrosive in my rifles. I have no experience with it. If I clean as you say, will it be anymore harmful than non cor.? What if I pulled the bullets and dumped the...

I have my first 303 enfield coming in tomorrow. It's a No4 Mk 1. Several years ago I acquired some 303 ammo. I'm wondering what it is and if it might be corrosive. Can I use it? Thanks for any...

Pretty close with it. I have been shooting it at 200, and it isn't there yet. It looks real nice, but not producing the results I want on the range. I got one of the new barrels for it at Camp...

Did you ever find that Krag you were looking for? This one will make four 03's and three 03a3's. It's like a sickness.

Well, it looks like I might be getting another 1903 Springfield. A friend of mine brought me some guns he is selling for a friend of his. One was a 1903, 870,xxx, with a rebuild under it's belt. ...

Thanks for both the replies. I just got into 1903's a little more, and will be looking for both those books. The old action has been poorly refinished, and drilled for a lyman 48, so it doesn't...

I need one of the experts on the forum to help me out. I have a 1903 barrel and action, serial # 79,xxx with the barrel dated 1915. I would like to find a correct bolt for it. How would it be...

I will try to find it. Thanks for the info. Tom

If I can get someone to show me how to do that, I will. The Rem barrel is a two groove, and the S-C is a four groove. The Rem bolt is marked SA and U with a punch mark on the bottom of the handle,...

Oh well, I was hoping someone had written something explaining markings and correct parts. I will look at those two if I can find them, but price will be a consideration. Thanks for the...

I just got two more 03a3's, a remington and a smith corona. Both are old dcm purchases, and mostly very very good shape. I would like to bring them back to correct specs, but I don't know what that...
