  1. Default Early Lend Lease Remington 1903

    I have been looking for one of these for a long time having missed one before. Not on the list of 60 that went through Red Star, but definitely spent time in England and appears to be absolutely original !394764A0-70A6-4DF9-8D64-7C95FB43798E.jpg1C578064-B769-4FE7-AB1E-C9C43AEF7E1A.jpgFF6D5DC1-542C-479B-9261-D99D42E4BB45.jpg

    Very nice rifle
    Freedom is not free, the cost can be seen everyday, for it is engraved in marble, cast in bronze and highlighted with little American flags!

    I've never seen Brit markings on a Springfield 1903 or any other rifle, other than Garands. We sure were nice to the Brits. Too bad we didn't have early warning radar to send to them.
    If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

    They had the first operational early warning system (Chain Home).

    The early radar system they employed allowed them to concentrate their relatively small Air Force to intercept the Nazis. Goering never knew what hit him (thankfully)!
