Not necessarily. I was at small show in Pennsylvania a few years ago wherein an old guy in his late 80's had a table full of delectable '03's and accouterments- 20's vintage arsenal target rifles, NRA Sporters, USMC Unertl scope, and the like. He stated that he was a bachelor and that these were his 'kids', and was starting the process of finding new homes for them before they were orphaned. Money was tight , so all I was able to buy was a P.J.O'Hare sight adjusting tool for the '03.
