hickok45: 1903 A3

By Bob Owens | 4:54 PM | November 05, 2014

hickok45 takes a spin with a Remington-manufactured 1903A3 rifle, the final “regular infantry” variant of the rifle that served U.S. forces in both World Wars, and which was a particular favorite of U.S. Army Ranger units.

Interestingly enough, hickok45 notes that he had some issues with the rear sight on this 1903A3, which was one of the rifle’s few faults that was never quite solved.
