A serial number over 3,000,000 indicates either a WW II era Remington made 1903 or a 1903A3. Are there any markings visible or are they covered by a scope base?
It is a Remington 1903. I removed the scope base and read the markings. I know that I may end up with a wildcat but figured it was worth taking a risk for $225.00. I may end up suprized but I figure that there is a good chance that it ends up being a 25-06 since it would only require a barrel swap to get there. I should know in a couple of weeks.
