Built by Remington during WWII, this M1903A3 retains the correct service profile with a parkerized gray/green receiver and a bright, in-the-white turned-down bolt handle. The receiver is roll-marked "U.S. REMINGTON MODEL 03-A3," reflecting its U.S. military origin and period production in 1943.
The rifle is chambered in .30-06 with a 24-inch barrel and an internal 5-round magazine that is compatible with stripper clips. The action is bolt-operated, with the familiar smooth cycling and reliable feeding associated with the 03-A3 pattern. The bore and rifling present well, supporting the rifle’s practical shootability after appropriate inspection.
Furniture includes a full-length oil-finished walnut stock with a separate top handguard, sling swivels, and a checkered steel buttplate with trapdoor. The forward band features a bayonet lug and a stacking swivel, consistent with U.S. service configuration.
Sighting is enhanced by the Lyman receiver-mounted adjustable micrometer aperture rear matched to a protected front blade in a winged base. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches, offering a traditional service rifle fit while the upgraded rear sight provides fine elevation and windage adjustments.
