[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1790153, member: 104363"] My heart aches when these classics get butchered. I just worked on an original 03 Springfield and it had a hacksaw cut on the bottom of the barrel .600 deep just ahead of the chamber region. Would be nice to put another factory barrel on it, but switching over to another one is fine at this point. I would feel a little safer starting off fresh without numerous holes in a high pressure area anyhow. As another post mentioned the 280AI is a nice cartridge or something lighter in recoil for the kiddos is good. I run brakes on mine to make these higher power cartridges kid friendly. Just add hearing protection always. [/QUOTE]
