    1942 Remington M1903

    Hello
    After a long time without finding something new, i have at last the chance buying this M1903.
    As it is impossible here in Franceicon to find a pristine 1903, I will settle for a nice shooter.
    The serail number begins with 308xxxx (I can't give the full number, the rifle isn't mine)and the bore is an 9-44 HS.
    The scant stock is a replacement, on the side there is only one marking: AO D.
    Dear friends, what do you think of this 1903 REM?
    best regards from France.

    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.

    That's better than many will do at 100...very nice. Obviously the barrel is fine. Good catch...you know you have to do the same now?

    High Standard barrels have a very good reputation and I agree, it should make a fine shooter. Mixed parts. Date of the receiver is about April or May, 1942.

    I guess the original worn Remington barrel was not replaced with this HS one in 1944?
    The seller told me this gun was recovered in Franceicon, during the COLMAR BATTLE january/febuary 1945...

    Hard to say. A lot could have happened in the last 70+ years.
