m1903 help before firing sn490078

[Jim Watson]

Yes, a friend has one. It has a rough strip in the barrel, maybe a thread out of a cleaning patch left to draw moisture. It is very accurate when clean but that strip fouls rapidly.

If there was ever any official program to collect and replace the low numbered receivers,

I believe the DCM-NRA would replace them for members.

looks like it has been sporterized.

Hey, Teddy Roosevelt had SN 0009 sporterized.

I have a low-number (forget the number range). Between the previous owner and I, it has fired hundreds, if not thousands, of full-power milsurp rounds. Now I treat it as any of my antiques. Only light cast bullet loads with no bystanders nearby. I don't want the talking-to and liabilities of any form.
