1903-A3 Floor plate release

[animal]

evening folks , wondering if anyone has made a floor plate release button for a 03-A3 ? I'd like to make one for mine ( it was spoterized when I bought it 40 years ago ) so wondering if there ia a drawing somewhere with dimensions . with this new CA law of no more lead anymore ,I would like to be able to just pop a button to release the rounds for a warden instead
of having him slamming my bolt back & forth .
thanks

You may have more luck on an American forum. Our gun laws are very different to Americas.

Hi animal,
Welcome to the MetalWork Forums,

The majority here are Aussies so it should not come as a surprise that the gunsmithing forum deals with firearms common down under.

I would surmise that any Australian 1903 -A3 Remington 30-06 Springfields would be extremely rare outside of specialised collectors.

As NCArcher recommends try your American sites for parts.

Cheers

This book has everything you ever wanted to know & more on the 1903 Springfield bolt action rifle.

I have a copy but it's packed away with all the other reference works I haven't needed in years and I'm some 1300km from home ATM anyway, so can't help further.
