So local gun show, usually just go to paw around on things. I was hoping to find some ammo, maybe some other junk.
I am poking around fondling the merchandise and find this Remington 1903A3.
Bore is perfect. Barrel is marked RA 12-43 and looks damn near perfect. Crown looks perfect, throat looks perfect. Stock looks to be newish... only marking on it is a faint "U.S." I haven't taken it apart yet so I don't know anything else.
Rifle apparently was a family heirloom sold but the anti son who inherited it.... His loss. I bought it to stick on a wall and I'll shoot it if the mood strikes me(after I have a gunsmith check it out).
Anyway, can anyone tell me anything more about it? What it's worth, when the receiver may have been manufactured, etc.? I think I got a hell of a deal but I'm not entirely sure.
