Even though I have a few Garands, I don't know much about the 1903s and didn't want to make an impulse purchase. I hemmed and hawed about the Springfield for a long time before finally walking away. There were several more at the show in the $700+ range that looked like they went through, well, the war! In short, they were both the best-looking 1903s I've ever seen. The Remington was going for about $900 and the Springfield for $949. I went so far as to get a bore light and the barrel looked good, although a little dirty. ![]() They both appeared to have been reparkerized and with newer stocks. I wasn't planning on buying anything today, until I stumbled on two Remington and Springfield 1903s next to each other.
