It's not an 03-A4. If it was a 03-A4, it was made by Remington.....they made all of them.....and you could read the name over on the left side of the receiver.

Actually, if the "**" denote numbers, the receiver was probably made by Remington, but just a "regular" M1903A3, not a M1903A4.

Sorry, forgot to say it was one made up for Aim Surplus. Very nice shooting rifle. Correct not a real A4.

Thanks again. Jim

Your rifle, S/N 37280xx, was made by Smith-Corona in early 1943.

Hope this helps.

That's what I get by just going my memory! In either case, the rifle is a M1903A3, not a M1903A4.

I understand that one's memory is the second thing to go in life. I forget what the first is. :hello:
