Thread: 303 to restore

If you want to spend $900-1000 all up for a sporter 303, replacement top and bottom wood, replacement metal parts, dremel, boiled linseed oil, plus your time and effort getting the wood to fit correctly, but it will still be a miss matched gun with no collectors value, instead of paying $800 for all matching complete rifle with collectors value, do it.

I certainly learnt all about the idiosyncrasies about the SMLE doing it a few times. Not to mention a lot of general knowledge about 303s I didn't have before.
But now I have other shooting interests that take priority.
