US WW2 REMINGTON M1903 MODIFIED SPRINGFIELD RIFLE……..NEW ZEALAND MARKED…….MINT!

IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WE HAVE A MARCH, 1942 MANUFACTURED REMINGTON ARMS MADE 1903 MODIFIED SPRINGFIELD RIFLE. THIS IS A NICE RLB CARTOUCHED GUN JUST ABOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PRODUCTION RUN SO IT IS ALL 1903 PARTS AND NO 03A3 PARTS. THIS RIFLE IS A VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF A FAIRLY HARD TO FIND EARLY WW2 RIFLE. JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER A SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THIS RIFLE THE MODEL 1903A3 WENT INTO PRODUCTION SO THIS RIFLE WAS ONLY IN PRODUCTION FOR A BRIEF TIME. THE 03 MODIFIED IS HIGHLY REGARDED AND SOUGHT OUT BY 1903 COLLECTORS AS THEY ARE VERY WELL MADE.  THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE WAS A LEND LEASE RIFLE THAT WAS SENT TO NEW ZEALAND.  THEY RETURNED TO THE STATES IN THE 1960’S ARE ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS.
