Built on the M1903 platform specifically for scoped use, this A4 variant shows the left receiver wall marking "U.S. REMINGTON MODEL 03-A3" that is characteristic of A4 production. Documentation notes that the receiver falls within the first dedicated M1903A4 serial block, aligning with its 1943 manufacture and WWII service era.
The rifle is equipped with a U.S. military Telescope M82, featuring 2.2x magnification, a 7/8-inch tube, and a tapered-post reticle. The scope is installed on a one-piece over-receiver base with rings, reflecting the scope-only configuration that omits iron sights and blocks the clip slot as designed.
It retains key M1903A4 features: a turned-down bolt handle to clear the optic, controlled-round-feed bolt action, and a 24-inch barrel chambered in .30-06. The metal shows a parkerized finish appropriate to the period.
The hardwood stock is the scant semi-pistol-grip pattern with an oil finish, sling swivels, and a steel buttplate with trapdoor. A full-length handguard and two barrel bands are present; the front band includes a stacking swivel and bayonet lug.
Inspection and acceptance markings include boxed "FJA" and boxed "RA" cartouches, a circled "P" proof, and additional small inspection stamps on the fore-end underside, consistent with Remington WWII production. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
