        <![CDATA[ 
  Recently I bought a Bubba&#39;d 1903 for $100. I figured it would make a good project gun. Well I got it home and figured out just how much was wrong with
  it. I decided to see if I could undo some of the damage that was done. I have included some before photos. In one of the pictures you can see bailing twine
  that was used as a spacer on the front sling swivel and the high quality front action screw. I did the best I could with what I had. I know it&#39;s not
  perfect but I am pretty... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I just cleaned up the action with a wire brush, same with the bolt. I then shot it with Duracoat (Minus the Locking lugs). With the reciever being drilled, the
collectors value dropped big time. So I had some fun and built MY 1903. Filling the holes in the reciever was easy. I took the original scope screws and cut
them down, slotted them and countersunk them. Since I was shooting Duracoat, I was able to use JB to cover the screw slots. The stock is a &quot;damaged&quot;
stock from Numrich... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My thought exactly!
<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t think if, I was lucky enough to have the several thousand required to buy a genuine Springfield or Enfield sniper rifle I could bring myself to
take it to the range and hammer lots of rounds through it.  I can feel free to do this with my $100 un-bubba&#39;d No.4.  Also why I like Ishapore Enfields,
all the fun of shooting a No. 1 without putting the rounds on an increasingly hard to find nice British WWI era No.1 Mk. III.
<br>
<br>
Also why I love... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, the only thing I can add is that if you build a sniper rifle clone from a hacked up sporter rifle, you can shoot it without the worry that you might be
risking wear and tear on a rare, and very expensive, real sniper rifle.
<br>
<br>
Besides, it&#39;s only money and when Bubba&#39;s already had his fun with a rifle, you can&#39;t really make it any worse.

			<description><![CDATA[ Nice rifles, I&#39;m about to build a &quot;quick cheap&quot; Enfield No.4 TT sniper &quot;impression&quot;, can&#39;t really call it a clone, just a B-Square
non gunsmith mount and I need to find a scope that looks somewhat like the original.
<br>
<br>
Like those 03&#39;s, the No.4 Enfield was a Bubba in a chopped stock when I bought it, thankfully the barrel was left unhacked and no permanent damage except
they cut a dovetail into the receiver for a cheap shotgun slug sight......why on... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Drilled and tapped is a deal breaker for restoration, in my book. Swept and gound bolt handle to boot. That is nothing but a parts rifle. I would have bought
it also for that price but to use as a basis for a custom sporting rifle.
<br>
<br>
Youre happy with the finished product though and that is all that matters because it is your rifle and nobody elses. This is not meant as a slam, my opinon
only.

			<description><![CDATA[ I love it!   It&#39;s pretty satisfying to bring back a sporterized rifle. An added bonus is that because it&#39;s already been altered by the previous owner,
it gives you some &quot;creative license&quot; to do something cool with it.
<br>
<br>
I saved two Chilean 1912/61&#39;s that came in hideous refinished stocks, I accepted the fact that they wouldn&#39;t be perfect and cme out with two decent
looking 7.62 shooters.  One of them is still covered in crappy old cold blue from the last... ]]></description>

I would imagine that you would have to spend a good chunk of that if you tried to build one.

			<description><![CDATA[ When I had it, that &#39;03-A4 clone shot really well. I never got the chance to try it with match grade ammunition, so I don&#39;t know what its true
potential is. I sold it to a friend to fund another project. He was all fired up about owning a &quot;sniper rifle&quot; that he could go out and shoot. That
friend consequently let it sit in a closed case without looking at it for over a year. He called me up all ticked off because the scope body and rings had
started to rust. Turns out there... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Mwie etc: Your rifle is prettier than mine: I used a straight stock, while the real 03-A4s were built on scant stocks. I got an old Weaver 29S Special scope,
just post-WW II, I think. Looks a lot like a 330C, but a LOT cheaper. How does your rifle shoot?

After 50 years with film, I finally got a digital camera. I can take pix, but don&#39;t know how to post them. ]]></description>
