what is the diffrence between a 1903 and a 1903a3, other than the sights? are the parts interchangable?

If I had my choice of the two laying side by side just as they came from the factory, I'd take the 03 hands down. 4 groove bbl. steel trigger guard, a better looking stock, and no stamped parts. One(03)looks like a rifle, the other (A3) looks like a club.
Bull![:D] The Remington 1903A3 is a fantastic rifle! In my opinion, it's a better rifle than the '03.

...then again, a lot of shooters prefer the aesthetic lines of the '03. You won't get a satisfactory answer here. Everybody's rifle is the prettiest, most accurate, and most reliable. Proud parents, all.
And yes, the parts are interchangeable (minor fitting may be required). Joe
