Anybody purchase one.  Are they a deal at $400 or not?  I see they sold out of the 03A3s.

As long as they aren't low numbered, they ought to be ok.  :D

If you are able to order one, choose the Remington 03..  they are in the best shape of all the 03s, built  1942, most have been to Greece,  some refinished in black (metal).  but are still a great deal..   Just price one out on Gunbroker, or a gunshow..  prices start right out at just under double CMPs price.. go to their web site   odcmp.com  HTH.

I'm getting my paperwork together.  

They are offering Remingtons, high-number Springfields, and the Mark l (which I believe is a regular M1903 with the receiver cutout for the Pedersen device).  All have the S (straight grip) stock.  They sold out of the M1903A3.  

Wondering if the Mark l may have better future value?
