Will Levin was an Air Force officer stationed in England after WWII. He found that through his connections he could actually import as many Remington M1903s as he wanted from those that had been used by the British in the UK. It took several years of paperwork, but about 1955, he imported about 200 of the rifles. He had intended to give or sell them to friends and shooters. About 72 were sold to the Red Star gun shop in California in the late 1980s. It was through this shop that these rifles became known and so this group of rifles has retained the name "Red Star" M1903s, even though most were not handled through the gunshop.
I have a data base of about 2/3 of the serial numbers. They run from about 3,004,000 to 3,136,000, although the vast majority were in the 3,020,000-3,055,000 range, along with a solitary mixmaster LN Springfield."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise.

Here are a couple of SC's. They are only a few thousand apart. One is in very good condition and used, 6 groove barrel. The other only appears to be proof fired.Comment
