c1943 WORLD WAR II Remington M1903A3 BOLT ACTION .30-06 Springfield WW2 C&R

Made in 1943 with CANVAS SLING

Here we present a C&R Remington U.S. Model 1903A3 Bolt Action Infantry Rifle, made in 1943 in Ilion, New York. The M1903 Springfield, formally the United States Rifle, is an American five-round magazine fed, bolt-action service repeating rifle, used primarily during the first half of the 20th century. 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.

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. Armory Parkerized. Excellent, smooth action. The bore is bright and nicely rifled. This example sports a fine stock with little visible handling and “SA” is stamped on the right buttstock. Sharp markings. “1-43” dated barrel. Good canvas sling.
