Hi all,

Just bought a very good quality 1903A4 build, it consists of :

Remington A3 receiver and bolt s/n 3203596 (September 1942 production)

An original 1943 dated barrel

An original Lyman Alaskan s/n 43963 in excellent condition (post war I think)

An exceptionally well made repro mount

And an exceptionally good quality repro A4 stock (needed refurbishing and oiling, as some idiot had lacquered it....NOTHING WORSE ON A MILITARY RIFLE

Questions to you chaps in the know as I am very new to all things Springfield, give me a L1A1 or an Enfield and I am happy...Springfield.....in the dark :

Would my receiver and bolt have originally been a built up A3 thats been converted, or is it an unissued/unused receiver, like a Gibbs A4?

What year is the scope exactly, I know its post 1944, but what year was it made?

Can you still get hold of an original A4 stock ?

Pics when I can get them done chaps.

Over to you guys ?
