Now that I've got my 03A3 home, I need some advice from some of the old salts on here. If it were you ,what kind of spare parts would you get?
Firing pin striker? Ect and so on. All advice is sincerely appreciated.........................Randy

You got your 03-A3 home! Spare parts? Maybe a striker, extractor, ejector. Maybe a front sight blade. Maybe. Have been shooting 03-A3 rifles since 1980. Have not ever had a part fail regardless of if the rifle was in fine or heavily used condition. Have replaced one barrel w/ a NOS Rem. 1944 barrel. Result was that a heavily used rifle became a excellent shooter... 2.0 inches or less for five shot groups using good ammo. You will need lots of ammo to wear the striker, extractor, ejector and barrel so that you will need to make those repairs! So, buy ammo! JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

Through a friend here on the forum, I've acquired quite a few rounds. Thanks for all the suggestions guy's.

[QUOTE=PhillipM;481500]There is no federal database per federal law.

That's true, I was referring to CA's data base, although I remember reading something recently about the ATF maintaining some sort of database and wondering if that was legal.
