This is a correct example of World War II US Army contract Remington Model 1903A4 sniper rifle that was manufactured in the first block of serial numbers. These rifles were issued during WWII, again in Korea and even Vietnam. The top of the barrel is marked "R A/Ordnance Bomb/12-43" and the receiver is marked "U.S./REMINGTON/MODEL 03-A3" correctly offset on the left side. The rifle has the correct 1903A4 sniper rifle bolt with the "R" mark on the underside of the bolt handle.

The nomenclature plate on the scope is marked: MODEL 330/Pats Pend/W.R.WEAVER Co./El. Paso TX.". The trigger, barrel bands and buttplate are the correct blue finish. The trigger guard, and floor plate have a more recent parkerized finish.
