REMINGTON 1903-A3

Overview

Remington M1903A3 bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield. This model was manufactured in 1943 and features a 23-inch barrel. The M1903A3 configuration represents the later World War II production variant of the original M1903 design, incorporating simplified machining and updated sighting components. The rifle utilizes a manually operated bolt system with an internal magazine and is fitted in a hunting-style stock, differing from the original military furniture typically associated with this platform.The 23-inch barrel is configured for standard .30-06 ammunition, and the rifle retains the classic bolt handle placement and receiver contour common to wartime Remington production. The hunting stock configuration provides a civilian adaptation of the military rifle, generally designed for improved handling and weight distribution. Metal surfaces on the M1903A3 are typically finished in parkerized steel, consistent with 1943 manufacture, though finish details are not specified here.
