New 03A3 stocks for a project

[Calfed]

A few months back I got a sportered 1903A4 (not sure why anyone would hack one up).


The receiver, bolt, mount and possibly the barrel are all original A4, but have been so polished and deeply blued that I doubt that it makes much sense to try and re-mil it back to original condition.






However, I can put it in a military stock and put a vintage scope on it and shoot it in the "sniper class" of a local military silhouette match. Because it is so obviously no longer original, I've decided to use a new stock. There seems to be a good selection of newly manufactured 03A3 stocks out there and wonder if anyone has any experience that they can share with the new stocks from CMP, SARCO, DuPage, Numerich, Collector's Source or Boyd's. I'm particularly interested in opinions on fitting and overall quality.

I've fired it in it's present condition and with Federal power shock ammo,it shoots about 1 MOA or so. Is that likely to change in a properly bedded military stock?

Thanks, guys

Ask chuckindenver for a price. He has references from members here and CSP. He can show you pics of his work.

How much did it set you back? I've read about a few guys who win bids on 03a3 sporters at auctions at low only to have it arrive as an 03a4.
