There were some NEW (presumably unissued) 03A3 rifles sold through the DCM in 1947. During WWII there was an excise tax on the sale of new firearms so the DCM was required to differentiate between New and USED, This is post is from from the October 1947 American Rifleman. I have no idea how many were sold and how many survived in NEW condition
FWIW
