Remington 1903 action
I have a short list of question on a Rem. 03 action I have.
1. Are the Remingtons an 03 or a 03A1?
The serial number is 3241785.
2. Is it possible that it was made of nickel steel as were the high number Springfields?
3. And last but not least, since I am intent on selling. What would be a reasonable price to ask for it?
I have good pic's, but have yet to figure out how to attach.
Thanks Scott

rear sight forward of the receiver is 1903, rear sight mounted on the back of the receiver is 03A3. The 03A3 modification was done during the Second World War.

1. All Remington receivers were M1903's & M1903A3's; none was ever made in 03A1 configuration.
2. All were made of nickel steel like the high number SA's. There were numerous modifications made throughout production, as the transition was made to 03A3 configuration.
3. If it were mine, I'd list it on GB with a starting price of $50 & no reserve. Remember, you must ship it UPS/FEDEX Next Day Air, as the receiver is considered a firearm under federal law.
Send me an email if you need assistance attaching your photos.
