So I traded a brand new Glock 35 with ten mags for this 1903 A3. It’s all original as far as I can tell. R stamps on everything and green parked reciever with blued bolt and barrel band. I was told it was new unfired and as far as I can tell it must be. No marks at all on bolt face and barrel matched receiver with a 9-43 barrel date and 43’ reciever date in December. It’s so weird that the stock is beautiful walnut but only a P stamp no other stamps?? I’m almost 99% sure it’s original finish but what’s up with no other cartuches in stock?

I hate you/

ETA: Any other stock stampings will be around the magazine floor plate.

Very nice!

Awesome score OP.

Beautiful!

OP wins da interwebz for 2021...!

shut it all down

Stunning 03A3 - hope you did the trade then RAN into your car & took off at very un-healthy speed and didn't stop until you arrived home

I did have a little pep in my step for sure

Beautiful

I hate to be the one, but a "new unfired" 1903A3 would be worth thousands of dollars

No one in is right mind would trade it for a Glock, sorry

It's still a nice rifle, and it will be fun to shoot

Enjoy
