The "A1" suffix designates an M1903 rifle that is fitted with a Type C pistol grip stock. Since the Remington M1903 rifle was originally manufactured with a Type S straight grip stock, it was never designated as an M1903A1.

Hope this helps.

Actually, I have an article with drawings showing a "Remington 1903A1" but that was VERY early in the design process and never made it past that stage.
