J.D. is currently building me a G&H t;ype sporter on an '03 action. Rather than find a complete rifle, and use it we spent a good deal of time tracking down a decent action that was no longer part of an intact rifle. I was also looking out for a parts rifle or a Bubba'd rifle with a decent action to use.
15 years ago I'd have used a complete, intact '03 and not thought about it. 10 years ago I'd at least had a twinge. Today I just cannot sacrifice a complete, decent '03. Like a lot of old soldiers they are becoming fewer everyday.
