    Remington 1903

    Did Remington ever use unmarked bolts in their early transitional 1903's?

    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. Brian Dick ...

    Nope ... unless the inspector was having an "off" day. Is the bolt handle "bent" or straight?

    Any markings on the safety lug halfway up the bolt handle?

    Thanks for the reply Rick. Handle is bent but see no markings.

    I understand some SC bolts were unmarked. Is it possible a Remington 1903 could have an A3 SC bolt in it?

    There were a batch of unmarked Chinese made M1903 bolts a few years back... the sales story may have been "Unmarked S-C, or RIA" or what ever the buyer needed.

    Nope, not as "original equipment".
