long range - I will have a nice High Standard 1903 barrel available for a sporter in a couple of weeks. Only the last inch of the barrel is bad. My 1903 project is going the other way; putting my 1922 manufacture SA rifle back in issue form. I'm using a SA 1933 barrel. If your 1903 still has the issue rear sight barrel collar in good condition, your replacement barrel outlay will be very nominal. Regards.
