It appears to have the stamped trigger guard etc that definately make it an A3. Would anyone have any idea why it would have the straight stock?

lots of the A3's had straight stocks, the gray park causes me pause I am no expert but it may have been refinished, original was more of a green park still at 500 not a bad deal even with the cracked stock

Yeah that's what I thought too. I spoke to the guy on the phone. He said he would fix the crack before he sent it out. If it looks too bad I'll go ahead and replace the stock with a new old stock C-Stock. I'm NO expert on the 1903A3. I've just always wanted one. For $500 I figured it was worth the chance. The seller has over 1700 feedback with the VAST majority being very positive.
