Update on my 1903A3 with Pics!!!

Back in August my stepdad handed down to me his 1903A3. It was in pretty rough shape. I sent it James River Armory last month to be redone. I got it back today and I am very happy with the work they did to it. Here is some before and after pics of it.

Now that's cool! :thumbsup:

How much did it set you back and were you able to do it with no state or fed paperwork involved? UPS shipping?

PresentArms · Nov 25, 2011

I had UPS come to the house and pick it up. James River Armory shipped it back to me FedEx Ground. They told me that I could take it to them and drop it off and pick it up when it was done but I chose to ship it instead. No paperwork needed. It cost me about $460 tax and shipping included.

Now that ain't half bad IMHO, I take it all they did was cosmetics?

Even better yet! Did they need to replace any metal on yours?

Nice Gun!!!

05dodgedaytona · Nov 25, 2011

They only metal I needed was the stock bands, buttplate, and sling attachments.

That's awesome. What made you decide to go to James River as opposed to restoring it yourself? Just curious.

nice job!

I didn't have the time or the patience to restore it.
