I recently found this Remington 'A3 at my LGS. It was a typical Bubba sporter with a cut down military stock, but fortunately he must have gotten tired and stopped before he did any more damage. The real shame is that it looked as though he started with an unfired specimen.
I have made it a personal mission to save every one of these that I can, so I bought it and proceeded to put it back into it's original condition. I have a small stash of '03 and '03-A3 parts that I have accumulated over the years for just these kind of situations and used the ones I had that most nearly matched the condition of the rest of the rifle.
Anyway, here it is, saved from the clutches of a clueless Bubba:
Serial number points to July 1943 production
Barrel date 5-43
I had a pretty good stock to go on it
Front sight cover was on it when I bought it.
Overall view of the rifle as it looks now
