Have the action, the sights, a wood blank and waiting for the barrel. The metal prep is done and ready for a barrel.

The only modification to the Rock Island Arsenel 1903 Springfield that Michael Petrov helped me find is the reshaped tang a la Wundhammer.

Owen's reshaping of the back only left the cut-off housing looking a bit unbalanced to me. I couldn't quite see how to do a reshape of the front part without intruding into the vertical pin that holds the cut-off rod in the housing.

Suggestions?

Dennis,

Thanks for starting this thread. I'll look forward to following the building of this rifle, I am sure others will as well.

Nice to see another Springfield getting started. I do love a nice Springfield sporter.

The bullet shaped cutoff lug is a nice touch, but, somehow, I just prefer the original. To me at least a Springfield just doesn't look right without the the flared cocking piece and the cutoff just the way it came from the armory. Probably has something to do with ossification of the frontal lobes.

I have a Springfield in the works with Steve Durren to be a G&H styled .30-06. Just bought a lovely piece of wood from the Richters for the stock.

Steven,
Thanks for the photo. Where is the safety on this rifle? Appears to be a very nice rifle.

Also a nice trigger profile.
