This is a 60's custom rifle in 25-06 that was my FIL's rifle, so I didn't get that intimate with it... for the life of me, I can't remember the action it was built on... I realize this is not a good picture of the action, but can any of you see enough here to identify??? Rifle has dark tiger striped Walnut stock, & I think this one is the one with the Redfield flip up peep sight scope base??? anyway, this one will be going onto the sale list... I'll take a more "action" type picture tonight, & look it over closer, hoping it may jog my memory... Thanks for any help you can offer... shape of the bolt or receiver look familiar to anyone... assume it was a receiver originally chambered in 30-06, as that would have simplified the build... guessing an 03-A3, but would like confirmation  |

Definitely an 03. Would need pic of rear of the receiver to tell if an A3 or not.

I'll get another better picture tonight... thanks I'm working on a list with a good written description of each gun, it's modifications, & serial numbers to go to the seller, for the 1st group to sell... I don't want any false info, that could result in a returned gun, or would be apparent by the numerous pictures the seller takes, & make the original owner look like a dummy  |

Agree,...03 action. Could be A3 or possibly A4. But is doesn’t really matter they are the same basic action.

The Springfield is an O3-A3. You can see where the original peep sight was mounted. The 03 had a barrel mounted rear sight.
Believe later is a P14. It was made for the 303 British and that bolt works for the belted magnums.
The P17 was for the 30-06...

303 was a P14. The US model is called the Model of 1917 or M1917, not P17, no such animal.

The Enfield, makes good magnums,
I have a very nice 300 H&H, built on a 1917. It shoots quite well, people have suggested i should make a 300 weatherby out of it. No thanks, If i need more power i will get a .338 or a .375. The old H&H case feeds so smooth , i really like just pushing rounds in the chamber !
