I am guessing you are talking about this one.

That was my thinking. There is an old FJA and the rebuild cartouche on the buttstock is almost gone. If the rifle was in the first 1000 or so I would not expect to see an RA marking but I would also...

I am looking to add a 1903a4 to the stable and have been considering this one. The only thing that bothers me is the cartouches on the stock. I can see a faint FJA under the sharply struck FJA and it...

Not sure what your add looks like but you can't put any pictures of firearms in the add either. I would not reference any rifles like the M16 or AR15 as these are probably key words they search by. I...

Thanks Andy, I was wondering if the 1903a4 was the same. All of the ones that I have seen had the blackish blue bayonet bands unless they had seen a rebuild. When did the blue bands start on the...

Would a very early (Jan 43 barrel) A4 have the parkerized front band also?

Very nice find. Base / Rings looks like a Korean war vintage Lyman as I do not see any Redfield marking on it. Am I just missing them? Looks like a beautiful combo at an unbelievable price!!!

Thanks everyone. I have not yet heard back from the seller on further pictures and information. Appreciate the comments and advice, I will steer clear for awhile. Just blew most of my money on a...

Garandrew, I have an 03a3 from 3-43, upper band and all other metal parts are blued. The barrel and receiver are the only parkerized metal. O cannot see the front site because at sometime in the...

Same rifle, been for sale for awhile! Still have not heard from the seller for more pictures request.

Mine is Knurled, and the barrel is also dated 1-43! Maybe they were on the production line at the same time! I will try and get sme pics later today.

I have an early A4 and the cocking piece is the same as yours.

I really love rifles with this kind of character! Looks like it has never been messed with and is probably exactly the way it left Remington in 1943. Very nice find, that one is a gem.

Chuck, I think this is another example of what you are describing for color of the parkerization. You can see where the wood line is.

Anybody have any comments on this rifle? I have requested a few more pics but have nor received them yet. The rifle sn was verified by David McLain,

Looks great, all seems to be correct! Very nice rifle indeed.

Excellent rifle, nice find!

My A4 is in the 34084XX range with a barrel date of 1-43, it has a stamped small bow TG, obviously no pad :D:D

Hey mark1, check out this thread, should have your answers and it has a few pics. The padded guards were not specific to the A4. Hope this helps.

Darrell "Shifty" Powers passed away on June 17th. As usual the media said virtually nothing of this heros passing. We owe these men so much and they ask for so little. Please say a prayer for him and...

I am very new to Mausers and have started doing a bunch of reading on the sniper variant. I came across this one on GB and would like the opinion of the forum members on its originality. I am...

The replacement stock makes it worth that easy!!!:yikes::yikes:

Here's another one, a little more money even. The description does say "superb" though....

It is a nice scope, he has been trying to sell it at that price for about 4 months. I think if it went to ebay it would sell but by the time ebay took their fees he would clear about $89.00!
