I got the my newly barreled 1903a3 back from the gunsmith and he charged me $50 less than the estimate. The barrel dropped right in no tweeking, so far so good. I then tried it in the brand new "Some fitting may be required" stock I bought. I was (I thought) lightly pressing down to mark where I might have to remove some wood and CRACK!. I debated repairing it, but it was right where the recoil lug rests and up one side and decided against it. If you count the money I saved on the gunsmith I'm out only $140.

To make matter worse or comical in my parts set they mistakenly gave me a M1922 front sight instead of a 1903/1903a3 front sight and base. I will try to keep my sarcasism within reason. We don't want their customer service people needing therapy.
