I just got two more 03a3's, a remington and a smith corona. Both are old dcm purchases, and mostly very very good shape. I would like to bring them back to correct specs, but I don't know what that would be. The rem. bbl is marked 9-43 with a serial # of 4,069,xxx and the smith is 5-43, and ser. # 3,683,xxx. They came to me without stocks or front sight blades. I haven't taken the bolts apart yet. The barrels appear unfired.
I would like to find a definative work on these guns so that I might learn a little more about the. I have three springfield 1903 rifles, and Brophy's book on them. Is there anything similar written on the 03a3's Thanks, Tom
