This is a unique item for a 1903 Springfield rifle. If you have a refurbished demilled receiver, or a drill rifle receiver, or a low numbered receiver or rifle or 1903a3 receiver and you are wondering what to do with, here is an opportunity to created a unusual and fun rifle. The barrel offered is a Shilen match barrel in 45 caliber, 1-16 twist, contoured to fit a 1903 springfield, and chambered for .45acp. The Springfield bolt works fine as the head of a 30-06 and .45acp are the same dimensions. Barrel is not tapered as the original, but stepped down from chamber to muzzle to fit a 1903 stock. I have included a demilled rear sight collar as shown in pictures, with torch cut positioned on bottom of barrel so it is not visible. Also a front sight base is included as shown. In addition, in place of the original 30-06 follower and spring, is a custom made follower, spring and feed ramp that fits into the magazine and feeds the short .45acp round into the chamber. You can actually load 3- 45acp rounds via a stripper clip into the mag and they will feed into the chamber. Rifle shoots either ball rounds, or 230 gr lead rounds very well. Great rifle for plinking and just having fun.
