Description:
This is a true, honest Remington 1903a4 sniper rifle built in 1943. Not a drilled and tapped 1903 A3. This particular rifle happens to be the 483rd rifle built to the A4 configuration. Barrel date on this rifle is 12/43 with a muzzle wear of 1.8 and throat wear of 0 measured on CMP gauges. The 2 groove barrel maintains the correct parkerizing in front sight channels as well as punch mark underneath as you can see picture.
The stock appears to be a post-war arsenal replacement and is the correct Keystone made A4 Type 3 sniper stock with correct upside down K in the cutoff channel as well as correct bolt relief on the right side. The Redfield base is also correct with type 3, 7/8 rings for the Lyman Alaskan scope. The Lyman Alaskan scope, with post retical, that is on this rifle is the one that we received with the rifle. While there is much conjecture as to the use of the Lyman Alaskan, it came with the rifle and it will remain with the rifle as a part of its history. We do know that the collector who owned this rifle prior to us had it in his collection for a very long time in this configuration. The base and rings are parkerized and a shim is present under the base just above the forward receiver bridge. The bolt on this rifle is also correct showing the arsenal-made 03A4 scope relief bend that perfectly matches with the bolt relief cut in the stock. The sling also appears to be GI showing the MRT stamp as well as a b inside a circle on the adjustment hooks. This sling has no cracks rips or tears and is very well maintained. We believe this rifle is an excellent example of a post-war arsenal refurb preparing its use for the Korean era.

This Remington M1903A4 Sniper Model differentiates itself from M1903A3 models in numerous ways. Front and rear sights are absent, and, as seen in pictures, the front sight slots have been fully parkerized. 

We have priced this rifle accordingly with respect to its scope. We are also aware of the many different opinions regarding Lyman Alaskans on 1903 A4 rifles. Sources vary, opinions vary and stories vary. Senich does publish that the use of Lyman Alaskans for 03A4 rifles was approved and did not specify a particular nomenclature or prefix to a serial number. We do not wish to debate this issue or rewrite history. We do wish to preserve this rifles history by selling it in the fashion that we received it.
