Thank you! Will do!

Purchased! Thanks so much for the info. Now to get it lettered pertaining to the SRS. Not getting a response though.

One more question pertaining to the SRS note:
"#229190 - 1899 carbine - 02/19/1936 - Second Corps Area"

Does this mean that when issued it went to the Second Corp, or, does it mean in 1936 it...

Butlersrangers… thank you so very much for your thoughtful and fantastic reply. Very much appreciated.

Question: does the stock look sanded to you to the point where it seriously affects value?

Photos:

Have a line on a 1899 Krag Carbine. Serial number 2291xx.
Stock has no plug, and has spring band.
Stock has cartouche with 1899. No P proof mark underneath. Hump sight protector. Sight is correct...

Here's some of the more detailed photos.

I asked the seller to send me photos of that a week ago. Cutouts look correct. The scope looks good, but the electro-pencil thing is always concerning. (I will try to post those shots later) Three...

Stocks looks nice, maybe too nice. Cartouches deep, crisp. Looks all correct as far as parts, but scope give me pause. This is the 11000+ A4 made and according to the books, the 330 scope with Mil...

I'm not buying the gun because of the bolt, but the stock is certainly original. If it weren't the faker (of a C stock) would win an award. Thanks for your input. Regards.

Not understanding... you're saying the stock is not an original A4 stock? I would disagree with that. Bolt, yes. Bolt sleeve, yes, both wrong. Stock looks highly original to me.

Just bought the tech manual... thanks much.

Thanks. I'm having questions about the bolt now. Rifle will not be viewable until Tuesday, but then I will post better pics of the bolt. I'm fairly new to a4s so I greatly appreciate the help before...

Hi,

Considering this purchase. I know the history of this gun for the last 30 plus years. A good pal is an arms dealer and bought it from a Vet that used it. (I'll spare you the story, but I have...

Yeah thanks, Not trying to talk my self into it, just getting up to speed. I want all original and am prepared to wait. Thanks all for the responses. :)

Saw the gun tonight, it does have the A3 notches. Question, being that it is a late Remington 03, is it possible that they used A3 stocks at that time?

Thanks Rick. I am grateful to you guys for saving me from buying a gun that is not all original. I collect many things, and originality is important to me. If it is not too much trouble I would like...

Believe it or not, on my first brief session with this gun, I didn't take a photo of the barrel date, but believe it was 11-42 and had the flaming bomb. Also have to check the trigger guard and all...

HI, THe bore looks great. Don't know which is the A3 handguard ring. (Newb alert.) I really need to study up as I want an original gun as possible. I posted above a website that talks about the...

Hi, Thanks for the response. I am a newb to the Rem1903, but saw this on a website say that this serial number 03 would correctly have the FJA RA stamps. You may be familiar with it , but the website...

In the picture of the whole rifle, I had the bolt out, it is not missing. Nothing is dinged up or worn. No major problems with the stock, in fact it is in nice shape. Love the sling. (Stamped 1942)

I will post more detailed pics soon of all the markings etc. He wants $750.

Another thought: I know this is a late Remington, but is this considered a transitional gun? If so, should it have all the same "R" markings as earlier Rem models?

HI, New to the forum.

I am considering purchasing what looks to be a very nice late issue Rem. 1903.
THe seller is a friend so I will have access to it for better photos in the next few days,...
