Remington 1903a3 questions
I was at the Louisville Ky gun show yesterday and saw an alledged Remington 1903a3 wrapped in green paper that had grease between it and the rifle. The box had a Railway Express bill on it and also a serial number. The owner will not remove the paper but is positive the rifle is new. From reading Bruce Canfields book I was lead to believe that the new unissued pieces sold through the NRA/DCM/CMP were not wrapped in grease but rather the arsenal rebuilds were for long term storage. Feedback/opinions would be appreciated. Greg
A rifle is worth..........
What a rifle is worth. Only after seeing it in person and NOT mummyfied. I would NEVER buy a firearm I couldn't inspect and certainly wouldn't pay extra for not being able to do so. Johnny Peppers story is true, I'm sure, but I can't imagine doing what his buddy did.
Hey Johnny, did the dealer take it back, after the mummy wrap seal was broken??
FWIW,
