Gentlemen, I need help on serial number search for Remington serial number: 3146952.

Information seems scanty - date seems to be June, 1942.

Thanks, Kab

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Thanks, Kab

Remington society of america shows June 1942 as well.

Thanks, guys.

I also found the different dates. As the barrel is stamped 6 - 2 I tend to go with the RSA date. As I said, information seems scanty.

The Oldguns site is incorrect and should be avoided. (It lists ALL Rem. 1903s as "1941" and ALL M1903A3s as "1942) The RSA and Vishooter are the best places to check. June, 1942 it is.

If you can post some pictures of the rifle, we can tell you more about it, I'm sure. What did you want to know?

Hopefully these pictures uploaded.

They'll be along Kab... Was this rifle a parts gun? Looks like the barrel ring shows polishing and reblue, purple hue...front band looks polished too. Even at the front end the barrel looks to have been spun in a lathe with paper before bluing. Still, I'd have it, love the "C" stocked rifles. How does it shoot?

Thanks, Jim
Great to hear from you. I dunno-bought it from a dealer. Been too cold and too old to shoot it yet. I'll take it apart after Christmas and try some more pics.

-Merry Christmas, Kab

Merry Christmas Kab, let us know how it shoots when it warms up...
