I inherited a nice Remington 1903A3 sporter that had been my grandfathers. He bought it in the late 50's for $17 and put a Redfield peep sight on it. When I rotate and pull the bolt back I'm able to pull it completely out of the rifle without depressing the trigger. The bolt looks like a replacement (not USGI) so I'm wondering if a replacement is in order.
In short I'm thinking of restoring it to mil-spec. I was going to build a faux 1903A4 but I can't bring myself to drill into my grandpa's rifle.
I know this thread is worthless without pics but I'll get some up this evening.
