    Remington M1903A3 "Springfield" Rifle

    Another piece of WW2 US Military history.

    This one is a 1943 Remington M1903A3 rifle. The stock is extremely nice original with all the proper cartouches. Had to switch a few bolt parts to make it 100% correct. Completed the rig with a very nice original Milsco 1944 sling and a Utica Cutlery bayonet.







    Looks pretty slick with the bayonet! I can't imagine being on the business end of this war horse!



    Very fine rifle.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    M1903A3's were made by two contractors, Remington Arms Ilion, NY and the LC Smith - Corona Typewriter Co of Syracuse. The SC bolt sleeves have a distinctive profile. The sleeve is that "plug-like" part that screws into the back of the bolt and holds the safety and the firing pin.

    Whoops misread the previous post...I thought it said WHAT is a SC bolt sleeve

    The bolt sleeve on the picture is actually a Bay Products contract piece. The firing pin was indeed a smith-corona part. I switched both pieces for the correct Remington parts after I had taken the pictures.
