Remington 1903 Serial Number Database?

[cquickel]

All.

Has anyone started an online database of Remington 1903 observed serial numbers and characteristics? The Krag Collector's Association started one a few years ago and it's interesting to see where the different models started and stopped, plus other characteristics based on the serial numbers entered by members. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1333300972.

I have already started one based on serial numbers I found on the internet. But I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Also interesting to document Red Star Rem 1903s.

the link shows a deleted spreadsheet,

there were several threads here (likely the old version) and a few other places on the Red Star guns, IIRC Rick the Librarian started one for a rifle he had,

did you also try Vishooters?

There is a full list of the "red star" guns in MAA V31#4 (2009) RTL did the photography. In all honesty, I did not look this up of the kindness of my heart - just so happened to be the issue I was browsing yesterday!

MAA?

[Dick Hosmer]

MAA - "Man-at-Arms" - is the official collector magazine of the NRA. Sorry, really thought it was better known.

If you don't. I can send you a photo of the page, or maybe I'll just post it here for everyone.

How did the "RedStar" guns gun into and out of Britain without ever being export marked by the Brits?

[jmm03]

not to derail, but has anyone ever found any info on the serial numbers of the 03A3 national match rifles that were finally dispersed from the Raritan Arsenal?

Go back and try to search any replies by John Beard. If you can find them it will give you a good thumbnail on when what happened in the changes made. Also, a guy named William Hansen has done a number of articles in the otherwise lack luster Springfield Research. This is also a good source of information. Excellent articles.
Too bad Mr. Beard has not put a book or pamphlet together as he is the last living expert on the 1903 Remington rifle.
