Does CMP North still do rebuilds on 03A3?

Working on a Remington 03A3 acquisition.

If needed does the North CMP still do overhauls' or just the South?

Haven't idea of the barrel, but incase I need to replace.

Last old=timer was my 17 Enfield and that took six nights of bore-soaking [with second bottle of Hoppe's] cleaner and four new brushes to change from dark knarly bore to to defined rifling and shiny bore.


Thanks.

just the south store, not the north,

north is basically a show room,


re the hoppes and the bore,

get some foaming bore cleaner, all are good,

get a cat food or tuna type can,
put the muzzle down in the can,

load up the bore with a squirt of the foaming cleaner, (I tried 4 or 5 brands and all worked well, except one that was more like snot than foam, but it still cleaned the bore well, just gooey)

I did 5 1917's that I picked up in an estate last year, all had dirty funky bores, and the foaming cleaners did a great job of getting the funk out of all but one,, and that one had a bore that dark as a sewer pipe, and it did clean up some,,

I did it over a period of a week, giving the barrels a squirt each day then punching them out, followed up the next week with another squirt and sit for a day or so
