Roadkill,

You made a good deal on the 03A3! If you don't have a source for te bands, try Springfield Sporters or Amherst Depot as they usually have these in stock. I don't think Springfield Sporters have a website, but Amherst Depot does. I don't know the address offhand, but do a search for them and you will find the site. I met the guy that owns Amherst while I was in Florida and he is a great guy and honest.

I love to shoot the 03 and the 03A3, they are the finest rifles ever built by the US. The 03 os not the best combat sights, but great target sights. I had a straight stock 03 that had 2 big pits in the barrel, but at 200 yard, I could keep 8 out of 10 shots in the X ring in prone postition. The 03A3 had better combat sights, but I never thought they were as accurate as the 1930s barrels on the 03. Great buy and let us know how it shoots.
