You sir, have excellent taste in milsurps!
You should connect with Probasco, he's into some old warhorses that I'm sure you would find drool worthy!
That and the P17 are the only rifles that will truly weigh on my soul if I die without having owned them.
I like the 03A3s.......if CMP would lower their prices I would buy one.....ridicules price for a surplus rifle....and you got to make sure you are geting one in the right serial# range or the receiver can blow up in your face.......they are the most accurate rifle ever issued tp American troops......they also kick like a mule.....but lots of fun to bench rest shoot....I was knocking beer cans off a post at 100yrds with my buddy Wendell's 03A3.
IIRC the heat treat issues was only with certain ranges of early 03 rifles. The 03A3's were long after that and have no issues.
I like my Remington 03A3 a great deal. It's one of several milsurps including my Persian 98/29 and an old "41" capture Finn 91/30 that I will probably never let go of.
Great rifles and photos MJ.

I was under the impression the KB 1903 were the ones made by Rock Island?Anyone remember which ones?

The improperly heat treated receivers were made by both Rock Island & Springfield. Below is a quote from the CMP page for 1903's:
There's also this writeup from m1903.com linked below which claims there haven't been any documented failures since 1929.To solve this problem, the Ordnance Department commenced double heat treatment of receivers and bolts. This was commenced at Springfield Armory at approximately serial number 800,000, and at Rock Island Arsenal at exactly serial number 285,507. All Springfields made after this change are commonly called “high number” rifles. Those Springfields made before this change are commonly called “low-number” rifles.

BTW MJ1, I love the grasping groove stock. Don't find many of them for sale, unfortunately.
Cool. Here is my .22

Here's a picture of my Remington M1903(M) produced in 1942. This is one of the last Remington 1903's before they phased them out for the M1903A3.
- Change it back -
One of these days I'll add an '03 to the collection, preferably one of the older WWI issues.
Great pics, all!
