Hi all,
What is the correct stock for a Remington 1903? Also the correct butt plate? Is it the same tight checkered buttplate like the Remington 03a3?, Or is it a smooth buttplate?
I appreciate your help.

Give us a serial ## range
correct buttplate would be smooth, R marked on the underside.
stock
grasping groove, RLB marked.
of non grasping groove, RLB or FJA, depending on the date.
serial number range is 3,081,xxx
The rifle has a smooth butt plate, and a C stock. The stock has no visible cartouches. It looks like it was sanded and or refurbished, non original. But everything elso no the rifle I think is correct.
Thanks all for info.
C stock would not be original or correct for a 1903...nice to shoot though.
Early buttplates are as depicted in my pictures..later 1903 Remingtons "may" have the "R" mark stamped on the buttplate instead of the trap door.Quote:

Yes. Thanks. The little "R" appears inside the buttplate trapdoor. I'm thinking everything is original with the exception of the stock.
The correct stock for your Remington, S/N 3081xxx, would have a straight grip, would not likely have grasping grooves, and would be marked "RLB" on the left wrist.Quote:
