I only own one and it’s a left hand converted 1903. From what I understand there are specific serial numbers to watch out for as they weren’t heat treated correctly and can crack. Also I would imagine that action has been pretty heavily modified to fit the 300 h&h. The bolt face would have to be opened up and completely different magazine box, follower and bottom metal used to accommodate such a long cartridge. Plus the bottom and top of the action would have been opened up I assume? I have heard of it being done but it wasn’t a small amount of work to get there
I would love to see pics if you buy it
