Built in 1943, this Remington M1903A3 presents as a wartime-production example with documented dating. The receiver serial falls in August 1943, and the Remington RA barrel also carries a mid-1943 date stamp, aligning key components to the same WWII timeframe. U.S. Ordnance and RA markings are present, and the receiver is properly marked "U.S. REMINGTON MODEL 03-A3."
Chambered in .30-06, the rifle uses a 24 inch barrel and a 5-round internal magazine, and it is compatible with five-round stripper clips for rapid loading. The action is the standard M1903A3 turn-bolt system with a bolt shroud safety.
The sighting system features a receiver-mounted aperture rear sight with windage and elevation adjustments under protective wings, paired with a pinned front blade set in a protective-wing base. This setup provides a robust, service-ready sight picture consistent with the model’s wartime design.
The furniture is oil-finished black walnut, including a full-length stock with a straight S-wrist and an upper handguard. Hardware includes two barrel bands, sling swivels, and a checkered steel buttplate with a trapdoor. The overall metalwork is parkerized, with a steel receiver finished to the same standard.
Size and fit details include a full-size configuration and a 13.0 inch length of pull. Country of origin is the United States, and the rifle represents Remington’s WWII-era production of the M1903A3 pattern.
