    My 1903's.

    Just like my first Garandicon, this one was bought as a shooter....it's based on an WWII action with a NIB WWII barrel and it has been reproofed in Germanyicon, again complete with the ugly German proof marks....it was a start, at that time I didn't even think about collecting WWII GI small arms


    Remington M1903A3

    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.

    A 1903 from Springfield Armory with a 1-13 dated barrel. It's in quite a good condition!

    Seems to me, the RLB stock on the Springfield belongs on the Remington. Although the RLB with DOD stamp may be late for that serial.

    Curious as to why your 03's have stamped guards.

    I think this last one is a put together. It shows a polish and blue barrel and the barrel was spun to polish it. The receiver shows pits and is polished at the barrel ring. The rear sight is completely blued...on and on... No matter, nice rifle.
