    Can't answer that as written. Do you mean one, or all. No one barrel will fit them all and of course model comes into play as well.

        It seems like the answer to that would be... "a barrel for a 1903, a Winchester, a Remington, a Savage, ect."

          Springfield M1903-1903A3 Barrel sources

          It would be a barrel contoured for a 1903 stock, in .30-06 (of course) like perhaps:

          http://estore.thecmp.org/store/catal...ogList&cat=BAR

          http://www.thecollectorsource.com/product/HS03bar1 (currently out of stock) but they will bel listing some n.o.s. stock sets.

          http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufact...rels-42070.htm (1903-a3 only)

          Sarco Inc's ads in Shotgun times or their web site. (Note: I can't tell if they are N.O.S., newly made U.S. Mfr'd, or other mfr's.)

          http://www.sarcoinc.com/3-10-13_7-12%20pages.pdf page number J2 inside the file. (note: read carefully, they have drill rifle barrels and some USMC *straightened* barrels and *new* 2 grove barrels listed on the page. You pays your money and takes your chances).

          That's 4 quick listings from a google search. Your mileage may vary.

          Of course there's always your local gunshop/gun smiths to check.

            Not concerned about the stock, just checking to see if a barrel different from the original comes up for sale, just checking to see what threads might be the same

              Unless the barrel was intended for an 03or 03A3 it won't fit. Same with Mauser, the threads are unique to the gun. Any competent gunsmith can cut the proper threads
              in a blank, but in most cases, once it has been threaded, cannot be redone because not enough metal remains.

                  What Bill H said +1. Win model 54,70 barrels and Remington 721,722,725,700 have 'V' threads 16 TPI. The 03 and 03A3 have 'SQ' threads 10 TPI. In addition shank size is different and you have a extractor. With all the work to set back and redo, if you can, you are better off fitting a new barrel blank.
