The biggest concern (to me), is that it may not be inletted properly for the earlier Pre-WW2 actions, I think that the inletting was changed to a shallow and wide inlet where the tang goes to account for manufacturing variations during WW2. They may have had their reproduction stocks made to fit the 03A3's better.

Mr. Dad... I am thinking the same thing. I was looking at the website and figured that they may fit.
However, I am also looking over at Numrich for what they have! As noted, the Gunbroker stocks are rather spotty.

Midmichigun,
Received the CMP "S" stock set today. The stock set is made by Boyds and it is very nice. The hand guard is not inlet for the two spring clips and I have a call to CMP to see what's up (either the hand guard is defective or I'll have add the inlets). The stock needs the usual sanding and bedding work since it is a little fat, but it is a very nice looking piece of lumber!

No need to worry, my SA #995xxx (1918) dropped into to the CMP stock perfectly.

I emailed the CMP about the no inlet handguards some time back. They said they were manufactured that way since it cost less and there was no real need for the clips anyway.

Hey Eagle,
Dropped the barreled action (SA 1918 S/N 9598XX, with 4-18 original barrel ) into the new stock and the fit is perfect!
Looks like the only sanding needed is to the exterior to get the forward and lower bands to fit properly and there was a little interference with the bolt handle and cutoff in the down position ( a couple of passes with 180 grit took care of those).
Nice to know about the hand guard, I'll think about adding the inlets for the spring clips, I just like the look.....

Here are some pics
I just slapped it together for some quick pics. Stock is not oiled yet and a lot of parts are not installed on the weapon for this pic session.
