Not fo' me. -
I see near mint 03A3's Down Here for around $1200 to $1500 regularly.
I bought my nearly totally original RIA 1913 03 for $1400, WITH 1913 sling and bayonet.Comment

CMP auctions nearly always bring in prices significantly over the actual worth. It would be a mistake to judge the actual worth by their results."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."

I am pleased to see that the rifle is fetching a healthy sum. When I inspected the rifle several months ago, I was impressed and decided to pull it for the auction to keep Bubba and his hacksaw from getting it.
Keep an eye out! I've got more stuff coming!

Wow. I bought an unissued condition 03A3 on Gunbroker just a few years ago for $900"Socialism is the Philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." ~Winston ChurchillComment

I got my Smith-Corona for $180 in the late 80's and my son-in-law's father gave me my Remington.Comment

I think the price is a bit silly, but the buyer gets a gun straight out of US Ordnance control - it is VERY unlikely to be anything but what it appears to be. With all the forgeries and fakes, an identical gun, but with CMP/DCM paperwork, should command a premium over a gun that is totally unknown. But I would think that premium would be a couple hundred dollars on an 03A3 - but maybe a lot more on an M1D or an M1A1 Paratrooper carbine, or an 03A4, for examples.

About $6000 more than it's worth, but, hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Nothing ... other than the fact it was a nice Remington M1903A3 and auctioned by the CMP."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."
