Hi guys!
I have a couple 03a3s that I’m going to look at today. The first shop I’m going to has one on consignment that they said they had someone come and check the bore with a gauge and that they were told it’s about “halfway through its life” which they said is a ton of life left for a used military rifle. Very trusted shop from what NES says, and super nice guy on the phone. This is a rifle that’s meant to be shot after purchase; what are your thoughts? Should I bother? They said it’s definitely all original, but overall condition is about 85%. Thank you!
Edit:
The barrel is also dated July of ‘44, but the SN starts with “4,157,xxx”. I’m not sure if that’s right from looking online at the lists?
