I found an armorer!

Several years ago I bought a M1903 Springfield Mark I Rifle that is "long in the tooth." The rifle fires, but stretches cases. Last year I located a new S.A. 11-42 4-groove barrel for my M1903. I had a few folks in mind to do the rebarreling, but had not selected an armorer because they take forever to do a job.

Today, I had a visit from a neighbor. As we chatted on the front porch, I told Tony about the Mark I. He said, "In about a week, I will get my new barrel for a rifle and when I rebarrel my rifle, I will do your Mark I." OK, such a deal. I will increase my church pledge and dig the Mark I out of the back of the big vault. I will also regrease the vault arms for an encore.
