1943 WORLD WAR II Remington M1903A3 BOLT ACTION .3006 Springfield Rifle C&R
Iconic WW2 Infantry Arm!
Here we present a Remington U.S. Model 1903A3 Bolt Action Infantry Rifle, made in 1943. The Model 1903 was, of course, officially adopted by the United States military on June 19, 1903. It was issued en mass during World War I through World War II. It was officially replaced as the standard infantry rifle by the faster-firing semi-automatic eight-round M1 Garand starting in 1936. However, the M1903 Springfield remained in service as a standard issue infantry rifle during World War II, since the U.S. entered the war without sufficient M1 rifles to arm all troops. It also remained in service as a sniper rifle during World War II, the Korean War, and even in the early stages of the Vietnam War. It remains popular as a civilian firearm, historical collector's piece, a competitive shooting rifle, and as a military drill rifle. This rifle would have been issued during World War II and very likely used in combat.
Initially, the 1903 Springfield was chambered in a new .30-03 caliber. The cartridge employed a rimless, necked-down case with a 220-grain round-nosed bullet that left the muzzle of the 24-inch barrel at some 2,300 feet-per-second. Though the round was certainly adequate for military work, when the Germans adopted a superior pointed spitzer bullet in 1904, the Americans followed suit with their own version that had a 150-grain cupro-nickel-jacketed bullet that boosted the older round's velocity by some 400 fps. And thus, the famed .30-06 was born.
The overall condition is fine. Parkerized finish. Excellent action. Bright, tight bore with very nice rifling and gauging .300. The stock is in fine shape with clear cartouche markings and “circle/P” is marked behind the trigger guard. “8-43” dated barrel. Sharp markings.
