Need help on '03 purchase

[Chuckindenver]

wow, 925.00 for an A3...i need to jack up my prices a bit...sheesh....
i was thinking 750.00 tops...
i have a nice Remington A3 id sell for a bit less then 925.00

Thanks to everyone for the help...I went back to the seller and suggested that $750 was probably closer to a real price...He said that he wasn't that serious about it and that he was firm on the price.....

Sooooo..I said thanks and good bye....Now back to the drawing board.

Does CMP have M1903's listed on their site? Anybody know for sure?

Not the last time I looked. They say 2011, if then.

I'm also new to the 1903 world (I bought a Garand a few years back).

For comparison's sake, 2 months ago I picked up very nice Smith Corona A3 with matching barrel and all correct except for the buttplate which I replaced for $20. I paid $700 at a local gunshow here in Nor Cal. I have had it out to the range twice and she's a shooter, as good as my Garand although I haven't brought both to the range together (that's next).
