I will admit I totally f**ked up the stock in-letting but in the end, I sent the whole rifle to Chuck In Denver,(look him up, he is a master @ 1903/A3 rifles". He fixed my cut-off and fixed my stock debacle by bedding it and man that thing could shoot!
I bought tons of "extra" everything but not sure if I have a lower band spring hangin around, I'll go check and get back at ya. There's tons of them around but shipping will cost ya as much as the dam spring probably, LOL There is a guy kinda local to me that has a Sportarized 1903 and it looks OK but he had shitty pic's on the Forum, all I care about is if the receiver is solid and not in the suspect number of being overheat treated, I guess I'll go snoop and see if it's still around,LOL I'll look for the spring Andy and get back at ya soon. Keep plugging away the rifle will be a fun and historic piece for sure.
