Our Assessment: The original Model 1903A4 was the sniper variant used during WWII and manufactured by Remington. Today, U.S. Armament Mfg. produces a high-quality clone built on original receivers. Here is some information from their site:
“New made M1903 A4 Rifles are original U.S. issued, hand selected & inspected, drill receivers of the highest quality and turned bolts married to new manufactured walnut wood “C” stocks and accessories. Each receiver is carefully drilled and tapped for use with a new made replica of the original “Redfield” rings and mounts and the M82 Scope made by Hi-Lux/Leatherwood, which is an exact copy of the M82 scopes used on the late model 1903 A4’s. Mint condition grey parkerized finish and new made Criterion Match Grade barrels make this rifle true to the original, collector grade, and ready for competition!
These rifles are assembled and tested in the spirit of the original issued US rifles, and hold true to the quality that US Soldiers defended us with during WWII and beyond.”
This is a great looking rifle that you can take to the range instead of keeping as a safe queen. It will also make a great display in a collection of WWII-era arms. Please see our photos and good luck!
