The store was closed for a couple of years due to Covid and I assume other reasons but its been open for a couple of weeks now.
I ran down today and picked up a Service Grade Dec.1943 Remington 1903A3 and a Service Grade Nov. 1943 SA Garand (with a 12/51 SA Barrel).
The prices have not gone down over the years, to be sure. I would also argue that the grading has suffered over time as well. My Dad's rack grade Garand he bought years ago is not too far off the condition and correctness of my new-to-me SG (except for throat/muzzle readings).
The 1903A3 pricing, especially, has really climbed, but they are not making any more of them.
I didn't count them, but they had about twenty 03A3s - most 1943 Remingtons, although I did see at least one one Smith-Corona. Most had throat/muzzle readings of 2 or better.
