Remington 1903A4 Sniper Rifle 3407746 

Remington 1903A4 Sniper rifle. The 1903A4 was the first rifle to be standardized by the US Army as a sniper rifle, and was the principle sniper rifle of the US Army during WW2. This is a fairly early example, complete with a matching 4 groove 3/43 barrel with a bright mirror bore. TE=2+, M=1. This particular rifle has been rebuilt, and all of its metal with the exception of the bolt sleeve has been parkerized. This rifle is complete except for the telescope, mount and rings. This rifle was not restamped as an A4 during the rebuild process.   

Bolt is an R marked 1903A4 bolt with swept handle to clear the scope’s ocular lens. Cutoff, bolt sleeve, safety, stacking swivel, bayonet lug, sling swivel and front band are all R marked. 

Stock is a SA C stock with an S in the cutoff slot. Faint RIA/FK inspector’s stamp just in front of the cutoff. Handguard is typical 03A3/03A4 and matches the stock finish. 1903 smooth buttplate. Stock has an arsenal repair patch at the heel of the stock, see pictures for details.      

This is a nice example of a 1903A4 sniper rifle, one that would be a nice addition to any collection, or since it has been rebuilt, a great shooter for vintage sniper matches. Please see all pictures before bidding.
