I was thinking of picking up a de-milled 1903-A3

There is risk with de-milled a3's.
A bud of mine had a drill rifle A3 action, looked almost perfect. Got to examine it myself.
Bud shot it and as the round count went up, so did the headspace. It is probably the receiver had been welded with a torch and rod and the receiver had been annealed soft in the welding process.
I put a barrel on my drill rifle receiver and shot enough rounds to ensure that my receiver did not gain headspace.
