1903 advice needed.

hello all.
recently I went to a friends house to play around with gun parts and managed to find a complete remington 1903A4 barrel, receiver and bolt assembly. there wasn't much else there and the only stocks she had were all for non bent bolt models so with a quick 5 minutes with a dremel, few trips to evil bay and numrich arms I now have about a 95% complete remington 1903A3(the final parts were ordered today. I was forced to use a smith corona floor plate and rather than take the time to try and find a replica scope and base I just ordered an A3 rear sight and decided to go with irons. however it is complete enough to fire and today I put it on paper for the first time. inside of 10 rounds I had it zeroed at 35 yards with 3 shot groups touching using surplus M2 ball ammo. I am rather impressed because my other springfield barely keeps inside the bullseye at that range. so I am just curious what you guys would do in my situation.

would you hold out for a remington floorplate and scope base and turn it back into an A4 or would you just leave it as a very accurate A3 mix master.
