I picked up a springfield 1903 this weekend! It was a trade from a fellow ingo member and I am very happy with the trade and just looking for a few opinions. It has been upgraded both good and bad. If your going to say any 1903 upgrade is bad please move on.
It has upgraded wood stock and been glass bedded, new trigger not sure what brand but its aluminium and is a little to light, lyman peep sight and lyman front sight and the bolt has been jeweled. Then the bad it has been drilled for a scope Looks like twice on the side of the reciever, 5 holes and 3 have screw plugs. Give me a day and I will have pics up. Its a nice rifle and I havnt been able to put it down since picking it up.
I am thinking of having it hot blued and is there anyway to have the holes tig welded? If so who could do that? Or should I just try to find a scope mount to put back on it? I like the idea of peep sights but there is prolly a hole underneth the peep also. Maybe the title should of been i need a gunsmith!
