Fair deal, the milled guard is worth a lot more then stamped guard. A decent stock will set you back at least a $100 and the bands may cost as much as $50 if you insist on blued parts. You would probably have under $500 in the restoration which is not a bad price but once in a while you can find a decent 03A3 for less then $500.

I'm with Chuck = buy it! from your description it sounds like the action has never been thru a rebuild/refinish. You may have to look a bit but you should be able to loacte an original stock.

Jim

The CMP
has newly made repalcement stocks + origianl handguards for about $165. The stock is the C stock - pistol grip. These are great stocks. I beleive there is a fellow on ebay selling original, NOS scant stocks (semi pistol grip) & handguards for $195, also a great deal.

OK...OK...
I went back yesterday and bought it. I got it for $335 OTD. I was wrong on the barrel date it is 9 43 and if I am correct the serial number puts it in Nov 1943 for a build date. So that should make it all legit.
I will get pictures up in the next day or so.
Nice looking rifle gunluvver.
Thanks for the info Kirk.
Thanks for the encouragement Major Tom...as if I really need any...
Thanks again.
