@Fred G. - I hear that. I prefer the all milled 03 and the ladder sight myself. At one time I had an M1icon Garand, Carbine and Mini-14... I grew up shooting Patridge sights, so I never feel like I'm "indexed" with a peep sight.

But, looking for a great 03, in the right serial number ranges, etc.... well someday, if another crosses my path. The last one that did, the dealer kept it for himself, LOL!
