What’s Included
- Remington M1903A3 sporterized bolt-action rifle (.30-06)
The heart of this rifle is a U.S. Remington M1903A3 receiver and bolt from the WWII era, built from forged steel and known for its Mauser-type dual front locking lugs. It uses the traditional right-side straight bolt handle and a bolt-mounted wing safety, preserving the familiar service-rifle manual of arms.
The rifle has been sporterized with a commercial stock that includes a Monte Carlo comb and cheekpiece for improved cheek weld. Details include a black contrasting fore-end tip, an inletted oval belly/grip cap with a brass screw, and a FAJEN-marked buttplate. The length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
Military furniture has been removed as part of the conversion. The top handguard, barrel bands, bayonet lug, and GI nose cap are absent, yielding a clean sporter profile while retaining the original 24 inch barrel.
Sighting is handled by a receiver-mounted aperture rear sight with windage and elevation knobs; a front-sight base is installed. The rifle feeds from a fixed internal 5-round magazine for a 5+1 capacity. The metal has a dark matte finish, and the receiver bears the "U.S. REMINGTON MODEL 03-A3" marking. Origin is the USA, within Remington’s wartime production period.
