Nice Remington 1903-A3 for sale.
Two-groove barrel looks shiny and sharp on the inside.
I regularly shoot this rifle at the 200-yard range.
The wood looks bad, but that's just these photos.
I'm in the Ballard area.

$600

A bit more information :
I'll be out of town until Wednesday night (14th).
Anytime after that, I'm free the rest of the month if someone wants to inspect or shoot the rifle.

Barrel is stamped RA, the little flaming bomb, and 6-44.

Rear of stock is stamped 6570 on one side, RIA in a rectangle on the other, and what looks like a U on the bottom, near the swivel.
This seems to match the receiver, which has serial number 3606570.

The bolt handle has 9210 etched into it, so was replaced ?

I used this NO-GO gauge before I took the first shot.
<broken link removed>
After removing the extractor as per procedure, the bolt DID NOT close on the gauge.
I've put 6-8 boxes through the rifle, mostly at the Renton 200-yard range.

These are often overlooked and underappreciated historic shooters.
I use mine for hunting as well.
With a little bit of careful cleaning , you could have a real looker as well as a excellent shooter with this one.
Good luck with your sale.
