Hi all I am looking for a 1903 action specifically so I can build a M1903A1.  I dont want to rip apart a nice weapon and would rather either find a stand alone action or a sporter at a reasonable price. My googling has shown to be weak as I havent found anything out there and CMP hast had 1903s in a long time. Anyone have a source they could post or PM to me.  Thanks.

BTW this quest as been interesting.

I would check the local pawn shops which shouls have a selection of bubba'ed 1903's to use. Also check local gun shows or gun shops, you may find what your loking for there.

why not just by a 1903a1 or find a mixmaster and rebuild to specks?

if bubba got ahold of it, it would not do,

gunbroker etc  would be a start,
wtb on jouster or gunboards may help too

You might try listing an ad in you local paper or little nickle. I know newspapers are old school, but of the thousands of 03's that were surplused, I bet a whole lot are sitting in someones closet. I wouldn't list the for a specific model (ie Springfield 1903) but rather a general listing of WTB old guns. You might have to sort thru a bunch of junk, but you never know what some widow has, and does not know that someone would buy it.  I have got a few by word of mouth, "Hey you like guns right?, Grama has a bunch old junk rifles and she could use a few bucks."
