M1903A3 rifle I picked up on the cheap... for shooter or parts
No pics yet, sorry.
I picked this up yesterday.
It has all Remington parts, dated 5-44 under the bomb. However, where the manufacture/info is normally stamped on the receiver, it has been visibly filed down and stamped over by NATL ORD. One of the gunsmiths from where I got it thinks it may be a case where National Ordnance perhaps bought receivers from Remington or another company, and then restamped them with their name. So he says anyway.
It has a very good condition stock (straight), no major dings or scrapes, but one little pinhole. At some point, somebody painted the top grips black. Bore is nice and bright, 2 groove rifling. Overall it's in great shape for a shooter... just want to find out a little more about the receiver before I go put any rounds through it. Worst case scenario, I'll find a nice Remington receiver and have a great gun.
Hopefully after work tonight I can get some pics up of the stampings/etc.
