    CMP list of Drill Rifles

    Plenty of 03A3's are regularly listed for sale on GunBroker.

    Is there a "sticky" ,or a reference to the CMPicon list of 03A3 drill rifles?

    It might be wise to check the list of drill rifles, if it is available, prior to a purchase of said rifle types. I seem to notice highly suspicious listings among the fodder available, that show distinct irregularities, or not enough photos at all.

    I'm not aware of one, but you might want to reach out to John Beardicon at the CMPicon forums. He's the gent that inspects most of the 1903/1903a3 for the CMP he might have at least a partial list of serial numbers for the drill rifles.

    In an average auction with average pictures, the cutoff will be your biggest help. They're hard to clean up well so even an "OK" picture should show it's a recovered drill rifle.
