I'll respectfully disagree with Chuck on this - the definition of a M1903A1 with a Type C stock or scant stock installed as part of an overhaul or on new-produced M1903s makes it a M1903A1 - not by a civilian owner. But Chuck and I have had this disagreement before and we've "agreed to disagree".

Getting back to your original question, there are a couple of authors that state that Remington produced "M1903A1s" - I know Poyer is one and possibly Sharpe's book on rifles in America.

**NO** Remington M1903 was manufactured with a Type C stock as "original equipment". All used "straight" stocks. Although the "standard" for U.S. military rifles was the Type C-kind of stock, Remington was given "dispensation" to use straight stocks. IIRC, this may be the origin of the term "M1903 (Modified)" to describe Remington M1903s.

Type C stocks were used on new-production Remington M1903A4 sniper rifles, but that was a different "beast".
