Season's Greetings!

Yes. Your '03-A3 Sporter stock will fit an '03. Good Luck!

And Happy New Year!

John,

Shouldn't the caveat be added "as long as the rear sight has been removed"? Otherwise, some serious inletting must be done.

to drop an 03 into a standard in military trim. sight base, ect. inletting will be needed,
a sporterized 03 with no rear sight base, will drop right in a stock cut for the A3.
the A3 has a larger recoil lug, but the 03 will fit.,loose, but it will drop in.

I stand corrected!

I assumed his sporter stock was equivalent to a military rifle stock. Obviously it's not.

Thanks for pointing out my error.
