Definitely a Remingto M1903 stock - looks like no cuts for an 03A3 handguard ring.

Hey Big,

Ya' might have a Remington handguard to match the stock.

Have a swept handled bolt, that part is safe for shootin'.

Thanks for the info about the fair.

That T was on all my Greek returns. No one has ever made the leap around here, to interpret what the T means. Or maybe I missed it.

PD

the rifle? or the barrel???
iv seen the T on Canada lent 1917,s.. wondered if it pushed over to 03,s

Lancebear, although it isn't totally clear in the picture, I don't think either rifle has a Remington handguard.

I don't shoot low-numbered M1903s; however, some do, taking cae with the ammunition they use.

Hey Rick,

Duke's new rifle has a guard that sorta matches a Remington HG I have. Just a guess though, need better photo. I have been on the Hoppe's lately.
