serial #3482172 30-06, 24” 2-43 dated Remington barrel with a very good bore with scattered light pitting throughout but with strong rifling. The rifle retains about 98% arsenal gray-green parkerized finish with a few spots of light wear on the high edges, a few light handling marks, and scattered light pitting beneath the finish. The bolt, follower, barrel bands, and sling swivels are blued showing light to moderate wear on the bolt and follower, the lower barrel band has been cleaned bright with traces of blue remaining, and a few scattered light handling marks on the upper band and sling swivels. The walnut straight grip stock is in excellent condition as lightly cleaned with scattered light handling marks and an added finish. A faded ordnance wheel and lightly faded boxed “FJA” inspector’s cartouche are marked on the left side of the stock above the trigger, and a partially faded circled “P” proof is marked behind the triggerguard; lightly faded factory marks are found just ahead of the magazine floorplate. The front sight, rear sight, nosecap, magazine cutoff, bolt assembly, and sling swivels are all “R” marked for Remington manufacture. The front sight blade is “C” marked, and the rear sight adjustments function easily. An attractive 1903-A3 that will likely shoot well. (14A9544-10) {C&R} (500/700)
