Hello,
I am interested in getting an 03 and being an M1 nut I'm kind of moving into uncharted territory. I have been reading up and understand the low high serial number issue, but in my searches It seems to me that 03A3's seem to be more readily available and lower priced. I really would like an 03. The ones I have seen on the trader sites all are either very expensive and alot of non shooters. I get it's an old rifle. So I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips or advice as to where to look or what to look for or is my best bet just to get lucky at the local gun shop? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
