Shortmagnum:
I read through the link and am interested in the program. Will be curious about the condition of the rifle. In their information, they list that the firearm will be definitely used and could be in good condtion to non-fireable. It also looks like you need to be a member of a gun club. How much are the rifles?

I was reading further in the link and see the rifles sell for $400.00 and shipping is $20.75. I can get a 1903 in good condition at my local gun dealer for $495.00 and an 1903A3 for $695.00. I didn't know if you get a price break if you are a registered marksman/shooter. In my case without an FFL I'd have trouble getting one of these unless shipping to a dealer. I'd like to know the condition after you have received it.

I was skeptical about what condition the rifle would be in. Sounds like you got a good weapon. The dings in the stock add character and make you wonder where it has all been.
Was considering purchasing one. I try to limit myself on how many gun purchases I make in a year. Couple months ago I picked up an NEF 17Mag. Last month I found a Winchester 30-30 model 94 (lever action) in my barn complete with scope. Figure its been there for about 35 years. Its in perfect condition and assume only been fired a few times. These last 2 guns will keep me occupied for a while.

I'm a little disappointed in the finish of the NEF rifle. Was shooting when it was very humid, didn't clean or wipe it that same day and the black oxide finish has developed a little rust already where my hands contacted the steel.

I've found that you can't shoot anything but the Hornady brand of 17Mag if you want accuracy. If you shoot CCI hollow points point for instance they drift all over. If you shoot on a windy day, good luck! I may get an additional barrel later chambered in the 22Mag and compare.
