Remington Model 1903 Sporterized .30-06 Bolt-Action Rifle, 24 Inch Barrel, WWII 1942 Receiver, Weaver K4-60-B 4x Scope
This WWII-era Remington Model 1903, manufactured in 1942, has been thoughtfully converted into a classic American sporter. It features a polished 24-inch sporter-profile barrel with no iron sights, a contoured walnut stock with a ventilated recoil pad, and a right-side receiver scope mount carrying a period Weaver K4-60-B 4x scope marked El Paso, Tex., USA. The action retains the 1903’s controlled-round-feed design with external claw extractor and hinged floorplate, offering a strong, reliable platform in .30-06.

Built on a 1942 Remington Model 1903 receiver, this rifle represents a period-correct conversion from service rifle to sporter. The receiver ring is clearly marked "REMINGTON MODEL 1903," and the action retains the hallmark 1903/controlled-round-feed bolt with external claw extractor and a hinged floorplate/triggerguard assembly.
The 24-inch sporter-profile barrel is polished and set up without iron sights, with the receiver drilled and tapped for a right-side scope mount. A side-mounted base with rings is installed, providing a stable platform for the included optic while keeping the top of the receiver clean.
The bolt action is cock-on-open with controlled-round-feed, and the rifle includes the 1903-pattern magazine cut-off. The internal magazine holds five rounds of .30-06, with a total capacity of 5+1. This configuration maintains the robust, field-ready function the platform is known for.
The walnut stock is a semi-pistol-grip, straight-comb sporter without checkering. Sling swivels are installed, and a ventilated recoil pad with spacer provides a 13.0-inch length of pull. The overall presentation is clean and practical, blending period character with hunting-ready ergonomics.
The installed Weaver K4-60-B scope offers fixed 4x magnification with a tapered-post and fine horizontal wire reticle. It is marked El Paso, Tex., USA, aligning well with the rifle’s vintage character and side-mount configuration.
