[bajabuc]

900 1000

thats crazy money for one. 650 would be reasonable.

CMP doesn’t have any right now so prices are crazy. They are around $500 when they have them.

AIM Surplus has some refurb’s for $795 shipped free to FFL or C&R.

Here is what they say about them…

We made the Exclusive purchase on this small lot of Springfield 1903 A3 30.06 caliber bolt actions Rifles. Each has been professionally refurbished utilizing Original unissued 2-groove Remington Arms "RA" barrels, U. S. Smith Corona Receivers and original (lightly refinished) walnut stocks. Collectors, here is your chance to own a beautiful and important piece of American Military History. While supplies last

Those ones from Aim are most likely recovered drill rifles. Not necessarily a bad thing I have one that I put together and it shoots great but I wouldn't pay that much for one. I have about $375 in mine

[Guest coldblackwind]

Huh, I just bought one about a month ago, paid $75 for it

[Randy L]

Coldblackwind was it original or sporter I would like to see pictures

[gregintenn]

Mine was $30.:DI've had it a while, however. It's an arsenal rebuild 1903 with a very early serial number.

Its a sporter at the moment, but all they did was cut the stock, sights etc are all intact. For $75, I can afford to replace the stock (and it will get a correct military stock), especially since all the metal is in good shape. Its a remington 03A3, can't recall the date exactly, early '40's, '42 or '43 I think. And no it's not for sale, took me 2 years to find that good a deal on one!

Digital camera is broken, and my phone isn't a real good camera, but that says remington, U.S., serial number, etc

Again, camera is broken, and the one on my phone isn't real great.

You did very well were you wearing a mask when you bought it.

Nah, it was mixed in with a lot of 1,000 guns (in the first bunch of 80 or so he got in) on consignment through a gunshop owned by a friend of the family. We managed to sneak that, and an ishapore 2A enfield past him for $150 for the pair while he was still getting his prices figured out. I got the 03A3, my dad took the 2A since I already had one. I'm eagerly awaiting the other 900 or so guns that are coming
