Remingtion match 1903A3 help ...

[dustdevil]

Hello everyone I'm new to the Forum and need some help identifying my 1903-A3. Remington receiver, barrel marked RA 12-42, forged floor plate, barrel band and stacking part. Lyman peep rear and Lyman globe front. Butt plate 16 LPI, bolt polished and slightly modified so when open shooter can still see thur peep. Pistol grip stock with OGEK in rectangular box on left side by receiver. Barrel is 4 groove. P in a circle on underside of pistol grip. Trigger has trigger shoe on it and when fired has no creep or slack in it - approx 4.5 lbs. stock is rubbed linseed oil to nice luster. The finish on the rifle appears more blue than parkerized. I don't know how to post pictures yet or I would. Appreciate any help. Larry B. CWO3 (Retired)

You have a Remington M1903A3 (assuming that is what it says on the receiver and not "Remington 1903") that was modified by a previous civilian owner into target configuration. The stock was originally on a rifle inspected by Elmer Keith. The trigger sounds like a later aftermarket o ne, as well.
