FC Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 There's a really beat up, poorly sportered 03A3 at a pawn shop. 944,000 serial no., thereabouts. Tasco scope, no bluing, very dark bore. Worth buying for the action? I have no idea what the barrel would look like if cleaned up. Would be about $216.

Doble Troble Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 FC, I wouldn't be interested in it as an action when there are Mauser 98s available for less. If you want an 03A3 I think that CMP has a limited supply available right now, and they're going to be in reasonable shape (there may be some bore issues as this batch is from veterens groups that have used them to fire blanks).

karlunity Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hold on a minute. Is the barral cut down? y / n Are the issue sights still there? y / n How is the trigger? g /b What shape is the receiver in ? g/ b How is the bolt? g/b If the score is 3 out of 5, I would ask to run a rod down the bore. Then decide. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Front sight is cut off. No bluing. Dark bore. Bad shape, but the receiver is usable. I was guessing Mauser was a better choice. You don't run across 03A3's every day, but that doesn't necessarily make it a buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
