And she's beautiful.
So on Saturday I went to a gun show and right in front of me there was this beautiful National Ordnance Springfield 1903A3. The guy gave me full disclosure: it's a mutt with parts from all over the place. But it has a brand new barrel properly installed, chamber-sized, and headspaced by a gunsmith. He said he was getting 1" groups out of with his handloads, and the barrel has a total round count of 67. He was asking $600 or best offer. I offered $550. He took it, and walked out with it. Given the going rate for 1903s nowadays, I don't think I did too bad.
How do you think I did?
