Springfield M1903-A3 Receivers - The Firearms Forum

Just to let you folks know, SOG currently has original Springfield M1903-A3 receivers available for $259.95, and original, unissued bolt bodies (containing extractor collar, rear shroud including detent and spring, and striker rod spring) available for $12.95. I must say, I'm tempted . . .

Of course, Polishshooter won't buy one because they were designed by (stolen from) Paul Mauser, but that's OK.

Actually, just yesterday afternoon at a Cabelas I held in my hand a sweet "National Ordnance" 03A3 that they were "only" asking $339 for, and I was tempted even though I know it's a "rebuild...."

But Polish, "improvement on perfection" is axiomatically an oxymoron!
