New Remington 1903 (picture heavy)

[Calfed]

Last winter I got this Remington 1903 at an on-line estate sale. The description advised that the gun was "covered in grease" and boy they weren't kidding.
We finally had a hot spell out here with multiple consecutive days over 100 degrees and I took the opportunity to use my "solar cosmo remover".

What I found under all that grease was a pleasant find: full C stock, HS barrel gauging a bit less than "1" on the CMP muzzle gauge, bolt wouldn't close on a field gauge, and metal finish in great shape.

A few oddities--bolt with numbers ep'd on the handle

Sweet!

Looks to be one returned to the U.S. from Greece.

The "C" stocks are a joy to shoulder!

Sweet looking 1903 , these rifles are very rare in my part of the world and when they do come on the market they command premium prices, I have an remington 03a3 it has a 2 groove barrel but it is one accurate rifle, I love the sight picture , thanks for sharing your 1903 with us.
