Did I just get a deal on a 1903A3?

Might be an award or trophy gun. At one time (still today?), military rifle matches would give a rifle or pistol to the winner. Those guns were always in excellent shape.

Good to know!

Good score! Post up again when you have it in hand.

Another reason for the deal is the ending time. Most people interested in a gun on GunBroker don't bid until the last hour or so. This seller had his auction ending at 8:30am? That's probably about the worst possible time to end an auction, had he ended at 8:30pm you would have had some competition.

Actually he had a buy it now option for $555. Starting amount was $550. Kinda weird but hey!

Only thing I can see is it looks like the stock has some wood missing right under the bolt handle. Anyone seen this before? Looks like it had been that way for awhile.

Didn't even notice that, Strange indeed, looks like a pretty good deal for you either way.

A little break, could be war damage, i.e., character mark. A great deal, and usually extremely accurate shooters if the barrel was cared for. Seller may not have been as experienced with GB. That's a good thing. Most everything I see there is way overpriced from the start.
