So I have a buddy that is interested in pick this rifle up for his dad. I don't know crap about them but since it's a CMP that's a good point. What do you guys think?
$550
For sale is a Remington ’03-A3, 1942, very good condition, originally purchased from the CMP. Most metal parts have been blued…it is a deep, highly polished blue job…only the rear sight is parkerized. The blue job (and polished stock) indicates that it probably belonged to a ceremonial detail (before being returned to the CMP).
It shoots well. I’ve shot respectably at 600 yards (with old, as-issued ammo). The rear sight could be tightened a bit as it sometimes slid down a bit during firing. The barrel is shinny and the muzzle and chamber gauge very little erosion ("1/2" and "0" per the armorer's tag from the CMP). It has a S stock with a “FJA” (Frank J. Atwood) cartouche. It will come with its CMP certificate.
