$800.00

The 1903-A3 is a .30-06 caliber rifle that serves as an enhanced iteration of the original 1903 rifle, developed with numerous production modifications to augment efficiency and performance for World War II efforts by Remington and Smith Corona. Notable improvements include an aperture rear sight for better aiming accuracy and the omission of the finger groove in the forestock, resulting in a more streamlined design. The rifle’s overall finish is of reduced quality compared to its predecessor due to wartime manufacturing demands. It also features cost-effective stamped components like the floorplate and barrel band instead of machined parts. Despite these changes, the 1903-A3 maintained its reliability and accuracy, making it a vital and dependable weapon for the Allied forces during WWII.
