Created on March 6th 2008
Serial No’ 3425992, in .30-06 caliber. 24″ round barrel, parkerized finish and Walnut Stock. This is the famous sniper rifle used by all US forces during WWII, Korea and Vietnam. The top of the receiver has the correct off-set markings – “US/REMINGTON/MODEL 03A3″ on the left side with the serial number on the right. The barrel is marked”RA/Flaming bomb/9-43”. The left side of the wrist is marked with a boxed “RA, and the crossed cannon ordnance cartouche/FJA” There are many sub inspectors proof marks infront of the trigger guard/ magazine floor plate area and the circled “P” proof on the front of the grip. The original one piece scope base is by, and marked “REDFIELD”. On this is mounted the early commercial weaver 330 2.1/2 power scope that has been marked with electric pencil on the right side “TELESCOPE M73B1” over serial number “1348”. The leather lens cap is reproduction. The leather sling is original and there is a scope carrying case marked “CASE, CARRYING / 763159” which looks like a replacement.
Condition: 98% of the parkerized finish remains. The stock is in fine condition with few overall scattered minor dents and dings. The scope is very good with almost all the finish remaining, the lens covers are excellent and the optics are very clear. The sling is good and markings and cartouches are clear. The action is excellent. British proof marks have been added at the front of the barrel, underneath.
These are rare and difficult rifles to get in the United Kingdom hence this weapon is freshly imported from the United States and has not been on the UK market before.
