World War II U.S. Army Contract Remington Model 1903A4 Sniper Rifle

This is a good example of WWII Army contract Remington Model 1903A4 sniper rifle that was manufactured in the first block of serial numbers. These rifles were issued during WWII, again in Korea and even Vietnam. The replacement barrel is marked "R A/Ordnance Bomb/3-44" and the receiver is marked "U.S. /REMINGTON/MODEL 03-A3" correctly offset on the left side. The rifle has the correct 1903A4 sniper rifle bolt with the "R" mark on the underside of the bolt handle. The rifle has a Redfield marked scope base installed on the receiver, but does not come with a rifle scope. It is currently fitted with all the correct stamped components, trigger guard/assembly and both barrel bands. The stock is a late war time manufactured version with the fat grip that has a partial "FJA" proof on the left side with a double "P" proof in the pistol grip area and a boxed "RIA/EB" cartouche indicating it was rebuilt by Rock Island Arsenal. This rifle is complete with an unmarked reproduction leather sling.
