Has anyone on here ever gotten one of the 1903a3 bolt and reciever from SOG,,, just curious if anyone has first hand experience in them.... CMP may get some like next year (MAYBE)... My dad bought one of their drill rifles. (think they still have them? $200?) He had a local gun smith replace the barrel, remove the weld off the bolt release on the receiver and headspaced with a new bolt. Made a great shooter! |

Modern de-mills destroy the firearm for any use other than a wall-hanger.
However, I have seen older de-mills (as per spec at the time) that were reversible. I wouldn't shoot any formerly de-milled firearm that had any welding done anywhere near the barrel/receiver junction. You could carefully remove such welding, but the heat-treatment of the receiver/barrel at such a critical juncture might have been compromised by the welding done in the de-milling process. OTOH, if a bolt-handle was carefully spot-welded at the root of the bolt handle in order to de-mill a rifle, that might be OK to re-mill. Of course, the preceeding remarks are not intended to circumvent any appliciple laws. |
