Just like my first Garand, this one was bought as a shooter....it's based on an WWII action with a NIB WWII barrel and it has been reproofed in Germany, again complete with the ugly German proof marks....it was a start, at that time I didn't even think about collecting WWII GI small arms:lol:
Remington M1903A3
