Remington built Model 1903 rifles for the US Army in the First World War, and collectors prize them. The seller describes this one as very good for its age, with minimal wear and tear on the stock and grip. The barrel is clean and bright, with no pitting anywhere. A bayonet comes with the rifle.

It has a 25-inch barrel and a five-round magazine, and the caliber is marked as .30. The standard cartridge for the 1903 is .30-06 Springfield, so confirm the chambering from the markings and the seller before you order ammunition. Another point to check is the barrel length, since the standard rifle is closer to 24 inches.

The seller says there is some wear visible on the steel. A 1903 with a bright bore and a solid stock is a fine find. The action is a Mauser-style design with a two-piece firing pin and a smooth bolt. Accuracy is good, and the rifle remains popular among service rifle shooters.

When it arrives, examine the receiver markings, the barrel date, and the stock cartouches. Check the bore and the bolt. A light coat of oil protects the steel. It is sold as described, in used condition. The rifle ships to your local FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
