I bought a Sporterized Remington 1903a3 a couple of years ago:
It has been my intention from day one to put it back to milspec (or as close as I can get it). Well all the pieces have come together!
I got a parts kit from SARCO, Inc:

And picked up a stock w/hand guards, the other day:
Yes it is a new and unfinished stock but after the last fiasco I had on flea-bay with a "used" stock. if figured this was the best bet!
Total Cost:
Parts Kit - $55.00 ($49.95 + shipping)
Stock - $185.00 (free shipping)
I paid $400 for the 1903a3 a couple of years ago, so still not a bad investment. Now I just have to find time to do this project.
I also think I'll invest in a dermel (I was going to get one anyways) because it is most likely going to need a bit of sanding and I hate sanding by hate sanding by hand!
