CMP Springfield rifles have dried up. Nice 03's of any ilk can be found wherever used guns are sold. 03A3, original configuration? Anywhere from $600-1000, leaning toward the upper end of that scale for a decent one, a bit more for a really nice one. '03's, figure 40% or so more across the board. 03A4's double to triple that at least. 03A1 snipers, original condition (no replacement barrels) with original Unertl 8x scope, second mortgage time. (A verified 8x USMC Unertl will bring $2500-4000 these days, when a non-USMC marked specimen fetches $6-700. Nuts.) That's why so many are being created from parts, mine included. A wise guy once said there are twice as many 03A4's in existence now than there were in 1945. Be very careful if contemplating the purchase of one of them.

It's amazing isn't it how the prices of all kinds of milsurps have skyrocketed.
