What's Included
- Remington M1903A3 sporterized bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06
Built on a WWII Remington M1903A3 action from circa late 1943, this rifle keeps the trusted .30-06 chambering with an internal 5-round magazine (5+1 capacity) and a 24 inch barrel. The receiver is marked 'U.S. REMINGTON MODEL 03-A3.' The receiver and barrel show a gray Parkerized finish, complemented by small parts that are blued or left in-the-white.
The rifle was sporterized with a commercial one-piece stock featuring a right-hand Monte Carlo cheekpiece and a pistol grip. It wears a Bishop-branded checkered steel buttplate with a white-line spacer. Sling swivels are installed on the toe line and fore-end. There is no military handguard or barrel bands.
Sighting is handled by a receiver-mounted aperture with windage and elevation adjustments, paired with a front sight on a ramped base with a pinned blade. The action uses a Mauser-type two-lug receiver and a cocking-piece safety.
The bottom metal is a hinged floorplate and triggerguard assembly, with the floorplate engraved in a scroll/scene style featuring a deer motif. Additional markings include an 'R' stamp on the front sight base and 'VA53' on the barrel. Country of origin is the United States.
