Not an 03 but relevant to the thread. I was in the local gun shop one day and watched a guy sell an M1 to the shop for $400.00. I walked around a bit then went up to the counter and asked to see the rifle. The clerk handed it to me and it was an unremarkable 2mil rifle. Pitting on the receiver, the crown was wrecked and the rear hand guard front hand guard and butt stock were all different colors. Probably a combo of walnut and birch. I asked the clerk how much and he says $1000. I hand the rifle back to him and say wow that's a shame. He says yeah it's pretty beat up. I say no I mean it's a shame some un suspecting soul will give you a $1000. for that stove pipe wrapped in fire wood.
