Remington 03/A3 FJA Cartouche

**Greg V** · 12-21-2009 03:41 PM

Just wondering what you guys think. It looks "off" to me. I do see that the F seems to be correctly spaced in relation to the JA, but shouldn't the horizontal line in the A be lower?

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.

I want yours!

Come to think of it, I don't remember even seeing the RA on the stock in question. I'll have to see if I can find it again.

**Harlan (Deceased)** · 12-23-2009 02:00 AM

Well, 'Crud' Greg!

If you like Mike's so much, you can't have mine.

Early Remington's and all LC Smith-Corona's didn't have the RA. It would help if you could post your rifles s/n (or most of it) and a pic of the slot for the rear band retaining spring.

Jim

As far as this one goes, I saw it for sale on the internet a few days ago. I can't seem to locate now and I didn't pay attention much to the serial number.

Don't SC stocks, although I'm sure not all, have an E stamped in the barrel channel and/or on the fore end?

Here is some pics of my stock that is from my Remington o3a3. I thought I was 90% sure that it was a remington stock untill you mentioned the E stamp in the last pic. Anyone confirm what the E is?

It sure looks like it's a Remington stock to me. I guess the E thing isn't reliable. I do believe that the upper band spring cut is still a good indicator, but I can't remember which one is square cut and which is round.

Greg - Remington ='s square...SC is round. Also SC has a distinctive sub-inspector stamp pattern forward of the trigger guard. See the link above to Vi-Shooters site
