September 23, 201313 yr I'm starting to think about building a bolt action rifle off of a stripped Remington 1903A3 Receiver. I know I would need to rebuild the receiver, since it only comes with the extractor collar. And I would need a barrel and stock plus other various bits and pieces to get it to where I want it. What I plan on making is either a 30-06 or .308 bolt rifle. What should I know about the receiver? Anything to worry about, and what are the dimensions for the mouth where the barrel screws in? I'm only in the planning stages right, so I won't be pulling the trigger on this just yet and I want to make sure all my ducks are in a row before I start.
September 24, 201313 yr Author I'm not quite ready to purchase a barrel yet lol. I'm still figuring out what I would do once I get the receiver.
September 25, 201313 yr Author Are there any books or something online that covers assembling the bolt for a springfield? And the parts you need to do it?
