Hi guys and gals. I just bought 4 more springfield 03's from the cmp. Two rifles are in great shape and will be kept original. The other 2 are pretty beat. I was going to just sell them as I have done in the past and use the money to buy more hoping for that diamond in the rough. I have been thinkin though(scary I know) that perhaps they would be better used as project guns. Any suggestions as to what they should be when they grow up? | ||

Mike, Any of the cartridges based on the '06 case (and the shorter .308 case too) would work just fine. The smallest caliber I recall seeing on an 03-A3 was a .243 Win. I have a 6.5-'06, and I like that, as well as a .280 Rem. .35 Whelen too, except mine is on a Mauser action. jim | |||

All high serial numbers as I always plan to shoot what I collect. One of each 03 and 03A3 are beaters. I always buy them in pairs like that hoping for that one jewel. | |||
