Remmington 03a3 sniper?

[zadmat]

If your not a shooter leave as is, it's a not a low serial so it won't do much to value, if your sentimental refinish and pass down. Just give it to your favorite out of the 3

HAHA! Favorite son..........you mean the good son?! I was thinking of getting a new unissued stock for $200 with no markings as the one now is worthless, but also wonder if the stocks from Numrich are truly made for my rifle and would it somehow throw off accuracy?

Numerich ones are decent depending on price. Stock has no affect on accuracy unless improperly fitted. As long as it's locked down and no movement you can adjust your sights/optics

Here is a option if you want it done right

M1903/M1917 | Shuffs Parkerizing

thanks for this tip I may just do it.

Another option would be to get a C stock from the CMP for $165+ $8 shipping. I bought one last month and it looks nice, I just bought a S stock from this afternoon for the same price. This stock is made by Boyds and there are some floating around that were made in Italy.

Thanks and i was on that website a few days ago and couldn't find anything and after your email looked a little closer and found where they actually listed items for sale. That looks like the way to go

nothing wrong with the original finish on that rifle...

thanks for acknowledging the finish on the rifle, it actually looks better in person, there still is some brown stuff in some of the corners is that maybe some kind of old grease? What is safe to remove it or do i leave it?

Some times that attractive greenish color, at least to me it is attractive, of the metal may be the result of having been originally stored with cosomoline on the metal and which chemicals have a habit of tinting a light grayish parkerized metal to a greenish tint after awhile. Be careful, as using a degreaser or a metal cleaner, such as Acetone on the metal, will instantly return the metal back to that light grayish color it was born with. Ask me about how I know. Using a gun oil should be ok to clean that grease. Ray

Thanks and I don't plan on using anything on it except oil and never have or had to. I have always tried to keep them oiled, especially since I don't take my guns out often.

leave it.. oil the rifle, find the correct parts.. locate a correct scope..
