What do I want in a collectable shooter 1903 A3 and where do I find it and for how much
They show up from time to time on the CMP forum under Bolt action for sale. I would say a nice 1903-A3 could vary from $500 -900 depending on condition and originality of parts, with Smith Corona getting a slight premium over Remington. JMO.
Lol! I just have to ask, why are you asking others what You want or should be wanting? Shouldn't it only matter to you what You want? If you don't Know what it is You want yet, just keep researching all information on the different types of rifles until you figure out just what type you want to purchase. I'm not trying to be hard on you, but just think about it all a bit. Never ever make a decision on a purchase for yourself based upon what others think YOU ought to want or have. It's Your money and its your decision. Just keep gathering info on the various types and configurations out there. Then with enough of it under your belt, you'll eventually KNOW what it is you want and whatever that is will be right.Quote:

. That's probably the top site as far as quantity for sale; plus, most ads have good photos. After a couple of months of browsing, you will start to feel comfortable about bidding. Of course, you can always come back here & post a link to anything you find interesting, & we will help you identify the good ones.

Yes Indeed!!! :thup:
Your profile doesn't show a location. Important since market prices will vary by region. You may wish to see if there are any gunshows nearby. They are generally a good place for someone like yourself to start.
He's about as far east in NJ as one can get according to his info...but he hasn't been back since he asked the question Jim...
I am just starting to get my toes wet.Quote:

Read the forums and watch gunbroker and don't be in a rush. A good 03a3 has your name on it someplace. 6-800 should buy a nice rifle, more for a all matching example.
I saw a Rem 03a3 bring 2k, it had the DCM paper work, 2 owners in the past 60 years and perfect condition.
