Remington Model 03-A4 bolt action sniper rifle with scope. Modified version of the standard M1903A3 (03-A3) bolt action rifle, these were pushed into service with commercial scopes during World War II. This rifle was built in early 1943 and retains a Remington marked "RA/ (Flaming bomb) / 9-43" 2 groove barrel. Correctly lacks front and rear iron sights. Stock hardware correctly retains their "R" stamps indicating Remington production. Bolt and trigger guard are also Remington production. Receiver markings "U.S./REMIMGTON/MODEL 03-A3" are correctly placed at the far left of the chamber, at the stock line. Serial number is retained at the far right of the chamber. Metal components retain their original parkerized finish, with the stock components being blued. Scant wood stock with faint boxed "FJA" on the left side of the grip. Metal butt plate with trap door, is checkered. Plastic cleaning kit is retained in the butt stock. Rifle has an attached Redfield junior scope mount and Lyman All American 3X scope, which is not correct to the rifle, but does make for a fine vintage replacement. Also included is a vintage generic leather sling and rubber scope caps. CONDITION: Metal retains 90% of its original finish with normal wear. Wood has minor handling marks and scratches and has been lightly refinished. Shiny bore, retaining crisp rifling. Mechanically fine. Scope has an excellent exterior with a clear optic and crisp reticle. Leather scope caps and sling are very good. JWA
