Another new guy! I've been using this forum for research for years as it is the best first hand source of info I can find. I joined not too long ago to get rid of the "must be a member to read" messages. I dig anything WW1/WW2 and loving trading rifles.

Most folks call me Easley

I found this site, while searching for information on an Italian Model 1938 Carcano folding knife bayonet, which was found in my father's WWII memoribilia chest. I'm glad I did, there seems to be a lot of military info available, and it appears the members are very helpful in assisting other members.

I look forward to more research using this site.

I want to say hellow to all the members.
I have recently traded for a Remington 1903 manufactured in May 1942, wit a replacement High Standard barrel dated 5 44, with Remington inspection stamps.
The rifle is in very good to excellent condition.
Some of the parts do not have the R stamped on them.
My question is: "Is it worth finding the R stamped parts and replacing them.
The second part of my question is that the finish on the receiver is somewhat rough, not like the majority of the 03 recievers I am formilure with. How Come?
Thanks for your help Guys,
Gary Remington

Good Morning,

I just purchased the a 1943 model 4 mk1/2. The rifle appears to be in very good condition, execpt there is a hole above the trigger, that normally has a metal cross screw.

It has the raised rear sight, but I haven't had time to check all of the markings yet.

Is it true that you must have a matching serial numbered bolt that matches the rifle serial number?

Also, what is the difference between the mk 1 and the mk 1/2?
Thanks, Ted
