Remington 1903

ruger4me2
I have found what appears to be a Remington produced Springfield 1903 in the original blue as produced in WWI. This piece however has a Redfield micrometer rear site and a Lyman front site and checkered wood. I originaly thought the rifle had been "sporterized", but on closer inspection the rifle appears to have left the factory this way. My research showed me that the Remington model 30s was a m1917, could there have been m1903 as well? The rifle never had military sites, the barrel has a "P" stamped on it, the rifle is about 95%+. I can not remember if "US Property" is stamed on it. Can anyone tell me what this is and what is its value, I will have more info later if needed.

    Seeking an answer. I have a Remington 1903 and the barrel's rifling doesn't go all the way out to the muzzle. When I gauge it, the gauge goes all the way in. The rifling is strong, and the gun and barrel are in excellent shape. Is this a common trait for these guns? Anybody have any idea or knowledge about this phenomenon?

    Thank You, Alan

    The common name for the Remington US M1903 is "Remington 1903"; there was an attempt to issue some with the full pistol grip stock (C-stock) designated "M1903A1", but none were actually produced. The only Remington 03 C-stocks are replacement stocks.

    Another common name for the US M1903 made by Remington is "Remington 1903 (Modified)". This is an inexact name, applied either to all Remington 1903's, or those with production changes, depending upon the expert.

    You will never see a Remington reciever marked "1903A1".

    DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH OF A 'PUREST' YOU ARE, THE ARMY CONSIDERED ANY 1903 WITH A 'C'' STOCK A 1903A1. THE COLLECTORS INSIST THIS TERM APPLIES ONLY TO SPRINGFIELD 1903'S MADE AFTER 1929 WITH AN ORIGINAL 'C' STOCK.
