Does anyone know when the 1903 and 1903A3 Springfields were shipped to Greece? I bought five of them back in 2001 from CMP and they are all very nice. Two Rock Islands, two Springfields and one Remington '03A3. One is a 5-30 barrel date in it's original Springfield C stock that's my favorite shooter. It sports a San Antonio Arsenal rebuild stamp. The Remington '03A3 is excellent but has also been through rebuild in the USA prior to being shipped to the Greeks.
Here are some pictures.......

Sorry about the double post. It didn't load right away. He says the bore is good. I have bought from him several times trust him on that.

Brian Dick: I did see a chart years ago listing countries, dates, and number of rifles received. I'm on low signal strength in Maine right now. A high speed search using military assistance program with 1903 and Greece would be a good start.
Lyle Your pics look good for a Remington A3 rebuild. The C stock is a shooting bonus for comfort and sight picture in all positions. The bullet test looks to me like around 2 1/2- 3 (1 is new). Well within specs but well used. If seller will come to 7-800 you will have a fine rifle.
Melt off all that greasy greek stuff and enjoy!
$860 and climbing with 2 hours left to bid. Its on gunbroker if anyone is interested. I think he could get his price but I am out. To many available and I am looking for a shooter, not a safe queen.
Thanks for all the help.

Smart man, keep an eye out on the forums too. They are out there, with better barrels.
I wouldn't want it at any price. The grease on Greek returns is usually deep in the pores of the wood, & you can never get it grease-free. There have been many attempts, such as wrapping it in newspaper & leaving it on they dashboard of your car for weeks, but the grease will always seep out when the rifle gets warm.
