I love those SC's!I see that someone really wanted to destroy that cutoff :(
Your Grace is correct. this being my 3rd drill rifle welded cut off removal, this is the worst. But I do love resurecting these fine old soldiers. But it aint cheap, truely an act of love!
I may just have to start on 1917s next. Can anyone say North Store!

Hi, I must say I have the Noticed bolts welded tighter , but they did a fair job welding yours up..By chance-- would you have the rear sight to spare for a 03a3..If so how much to part with it??..My drill is chromed too, with a spot on the barrel and reciever.the bolt firing pin was welded on the face...I have not found a hole cut in the barrel..The front sight blade was removed at the tiny pin..The rear sight only has the base left..I am going to try mine out shortly, but it is moot with out sights..Thx OG.

I am sorry I do not. But I do know both Sarco and Numrich have the parts you need, and of course there is always ebay!!!
