[QUOTE="cowadle, post: 4044480, member: 7203"] the 1903a3 has the rear aperture peep sight and the 1903 has a ladder flip up sight in front of the receiver on the barrel. if it is a low serial number receiver the heat treat was questioned and not considered safe. since it has been drilled and tapped it doesn't matter much about the historical value of a complete intact as issued rifle. if the barrel hasn't been cut and the sights removed it would be possible to restore it partially but for value sake probably not worth it. as a shooter with a worn modified military two groove barrel it may or may not be much. take it out at 100 yards and record the data. that way at least you can evaluate it ???
