This what I have.

Yes, when I first looked at it, I noticed the H S barrel so I figured it was a rebuild, although there is no ordnance rebuild mark that I can see. My A3 has an "OD" stamp on the stock.
Am I correct...

This one is a friends Stevens 520 Riot Gun.

Yes, I should have taken a better picture. Very good bore too.

A small bonus too, this was in the butt stock,

Local gun shop had a rifle off in the corner and it occurred to me that it was what I thought was a 1903A3, but it was in fact a 1903. Seemed to be in real good condition so I put it on layaway and...

I've got one of these Remington's too. Mine is also two groove.

I looked on and off for awhile and some prices were, well unreasonable. This one was listed and the listing wasn't trying to hide anything, and I realized it was refinished. Bore is very good, it...

That's good to know.
I've shot it twice with UMC 150 FMJ, but we were on the 50 yard line.

We had a Remington 1903 years ago that was probably original it was 4-42 iirc. Nothing special but a...

A member started a thread with an inquiry about a Remington 1903A3 and it just so happens that I had won that auction. I posted on that thread but rather than hijack the thread I thought I'd start my...

Well I have this A3.

I haven't dated the receiver but the barrel seems to be correct to...

Could it be a Winchester Model 1895 barrel?

I missed the pictures at first and just looked at them; Nice Springfield

IIRC Hatcher has an excellent analysis of the low serial number 1903's.

I very much...

I saw one listed on Guns International with the S S stamp on it also.

I'll take Hatcher's analysis of the 1903 Failures, before some YouTube (meTube) video.

Joined this forum to do some research and get some input on A Model 1903A3, as I'm looking to get one. However;
A local gun shop has a Eddystone Model 1917, with a JA barrel and what must be the...

Hello, just registered here.
Not a real milsurp collector, but have had a Remington M1903, a couple of M1 Garands, as well as an M1A.

I'm currently considering getting a Remington 1903A3, but...
