[armageddon]

Forum,

enclosed pictures of my Remington 1903A3

Receiver - 4128550
Barrel - RA 12-43 (2 grove)
Bolt - R
Stock - Keystone

Comments appreciated!

P.S. Which I'm not quite happy is the relatively large distance between the breech of the bolt and the receiver (see the last picture) - Any comments?

Rifle looks great, are there any inspection markings at all on the wood? Is it a repro stock fitted? I always liked the looks of a "C" stock...

Fine looking rifle!

The gap is a bit larger than normally seen, but is not a safety issue. Nice looking rifle!

Hello Forum!


There are no any markings (cartouches) on the stock, only the "K" in Cut-Off lever recess in the wood. This should be the marking for Keystone stock

Hello Forum,

sorry what about the series No.? Production date?

Many Thanks!

The "K" indicates that the stock is a USGI replacement stock. Absence of any other markings (proof P on the pistol grip & armory stamp on the side of the stock) means that the stock was added by a previous owner, who probably bought it from a surplus dealer.

A nice parts-gun. No insult intended, but not arsenal built for sure. Probably a good shooter.

I have no problem with your opinion at all!

My priority was:

1. Good shooter
2. Total operational safety
3. Good general condition

To make it perfect, I am looking for the USMC style front sight cover.

Does anyone know a delivery source for it?

Hello,

unfortunately this is the standard Version. The USMC style sight cover has bigger Diameter (app. 0,6").

However, many thanks for your effort!
