My friend just picked one up from a guy this weekend for $500. This is by far the cleanest looking 1903A3 I have ever seen an I really did not know what the significance of the National Ordinance recieved was until after the deal was done. (for those not aware, it was a parts gun built on GI surplus parts with a foreign made receiver and assembled on El Monteray, CA)
I suspect it is a fine shooter without any collector value whatsoever, but I wanted to ask if I should take this to a smith before putting rounds through it. Some forum posts said there was some headspacing concerns and some said it was just fine. There is evidence it has been shot, but just not a whole lot. Any thoughts?
