If anyone is looking for a decent 03A3 there's an SC at Collectors in Stoneham for $600. I checked it out earlier today and its decent. Needs a cleaning but the receiver and barrel are both SC (probably original barrel). Stock is decent with FJA and ordinance wheel but can't confirm if its SC since marks/dents in front of the trigger guard cover where the diamond would be and I can't tell from the barrel band spring cutout without cleaning some debris out of it. Either way its GI wood for sure, handguard is a replacement. Bolt and trigger guard/mag housing is both Remington. Has a repro leather sling. Rifling is good, bore needs a scrub.
For the price you can't beat it if you want a decent A3 that would clean up well and probably shoots good as is.
