I bought a '03-A4 through that same program - circa 1963. The rifle was less than $20 and was shipped via Railway Express. As I recall, it was a Remington with a Star barrel, turned down bolt handle, no open sights but had a Redfield Jr. scope mount on it. It was still in cosmoline and the stock had "feathers" as if it had never been issued.
Do I wish I still had it?
