Remington 1903A3

I posted about this before long ago...but since seeing the recent post by sakorick on his earlier design 03 I took out the camera.
My O3A3 I got from the CMP in 2004. It cost all of $452.95 including cost of shipping.
Notice how Safe and Ready are imprinted on the safety. For soldiers that could read I guess. Then there is the Off and On for the magazine feed. The cocking piece at the end of the bolt would work like a Mauser to re-cock the piece on a misfire.
The sight hood is something I added. Note the R for Remington on the side of it.
Note the trigger guard assembly is cast rather than forged.
