Two early Remington 03's

[sakorick]

Here are my early Remingtons, out for semiannual Raw linseed oil treatment. SN 4295 was made 11/41 and 21131 was made 01/42. 4295 is my restoration....needed a RLB stock, shroud, cubby door, floorplate and some rear sight parts. Luckily the sights and bands were never changed. The bore is just over 1 on the gauge. 21131 is a New Zealand return and despite some rough treatment at funerals remained intact. 21131 was inspected by John for the CMP and was one of about a dozen in the batch. I purchased it at CMP auction about 4 years ago.....the bore is poor but shootable. The two are nearly identical, 4295 has the lightning cut in the triggerguard and the rear sling mount marked R while 21131 does not have the lightning cut or the R marked swivel. Regards, Rick.
