Bought my first 1903a3 today. Should have it in my hands in a few days. I’m excited. This will start my ww2 collection. I will be sending In my papers to the cmp in The next couple of days for a garand. Unfortunately a few years ago I had terrible insurance and had to pay an extremely high insurance deductible, so I sold the collection I had started. I’m pretty excited to start again with this beautiful gun. The finish on it looks spectacular in the photos.
