Hello, New guy here with first question to milsurps.com..

I recently acquired a real nice Remington 1903-A3 from a local shop. So a buddy of mine who is a lot more knowledgeable on the WW1/2 rifles than I look it over. He goes on talking how I should change the incorrect parts to correct parts.
Prior to buying I did study up on stamped vs milled parts, stocks, barrels, butt plates etc.

Now rifle in question has had a arsenal rebuild.

My question would making the rifle correct to pre-arsenal rebuild effect the value. It has some cartouche stamps to show it has had a arsenal rebuild.
Mine has a 1903 trigger/mag plate assembly on it currently. Is it worth it to switch to a correct Remington trigger/mag assembly.

Yes having a 100% correct from the create rifle would be great, But then to me takes away from the nostalgic heritage of the rifle. Honestly I am torn between making it all correct small ocd issue or leave it as is.

Once I get the camera figured out, I will post some pics of the rifle with more questions.

Thank you for the input,
Snert..
