1903 reference

[bboy]

I just purchased a new (to me) Remington 1903. The barrel is stamped 3-42 and the sn on the receiver dates to late 42. Are there any sites which one can attempt to learn some history on the gun ( issue, etc) based on the SN?

thanks

I would be interested as well. Mine dates to 1918.

Great site,. thanks!
1918 Jan 1 - 761758 DHT phased in by Feb 20, 1918 at SN 800000 (plus a little)
Solid shank swivel replaces split shank swivel
2850 yard volley notch eliminated
Bent bolt Handle starts ~1000000
Mark I production begins with SN 1034502
Parkerizing phased in starting late 1918. Never used by armory on all parts.
Trigger serrations temporarily eliminated

Mines SN is 1045???. The stock isn't correct, she has a fine checkered butt plate... will trade for a smooth one.

And thanks buffalobo. Now I'm in my gun safe on the first Saturday I've off in weeks. God knows when I'll get to chores.
