1903A3 Springfield Sources

[FFMedic]

I'm looking to pick up a 1903A3 Springfield as a shooter. I'd like a source other than gunshows/gunbroker and of course the CMP. A "rebuilt" model with new barrel, stock and parkerizing would be fine in my book, I'm not a historical collector.

I seem to remember a website that sold them as well as M1s, Mausers and even some Civil War era rifles that had been refinished but for the life of me I can't remember the name. As I recall a nicely rebuilt 1903 was about $700.

Any help would be great, thanks,
FFMedic

It sounds like you are talking about Miltech.

Nope not MilTech but those look quite nice. Sarco seems to have some decent ones as well.

The cmp had some, www.odcmp.com . You might check there.

You may have missed in his post, where he said:

(but you are right the CMP is the best source)

I have to start wearing my glasses. I missed the part about the cmp.

You want a Remington or Smith Corona 1903a3 because Springfield didn't make any of those.

Want to buy this one for $750. ?

look in pawnshops, used rack at gunshops, auction arms, gunsamerica & gunsinternational.com

i've seen some very nice 03a3's in pawnshops for under $600 & some that i wouldn't give $200 for priced at $800+

We must be looking at the same rifles.

James River Armory was the place I was thinking of. Any opinions on rifles from there?
