Dammit, now I gotta go look at my rifle.
Ha! Mine's in the 3 million range.
If I remember, someone on the CMP forums said they cost around $1,200 from CMP when they had them. They are no longer available but you might check out Gunbroker and see what they're getting.
That would make your rifle a WWII era Remington M1903 (modified) or a Remington or Smith Corona M1903A3, all of which were produced well after the improvements to heat treatment were made in 1918. The published serial number cutoff for SA rifles is 800,000 as previously mentioned and 285,507 for RIA rifles.
It has had an intermittent problem dropping the firing pin when I flip off the safety. It is not a 100% every time issue but in my world once is a 100% every time issue. I'm sure there is a fix but I haven't tried to fix it yet. Considering selling it.
No, it's a sporterized stock with cheekpiece, pistol grip and the white plastic inserts.Likely someone has attempted to improve the trigger by messing with the mating surfaces on the sear and cocking rod or there is excessive wear on the safety, cocking piece, or sear causing the issue. I would suggest finding a NOS or unmodified sear and replacing the one that is in the rifle. If that doesn't fix the issue, then replace the safety, and possibly the cocking rod if it appears to have been filed or polished. No need to sell the rifle, it is a simple fix. If you need help feel free to shoot me a pm.
Is the rifle a Remington M1903? If so, does it happen to have a RLB cartouched straight stock?
No, it's a sporterized stock with cheekpiece, pistol grip and the white plastic inserts.
The muzzle end has R A the armory bomb and 12-41 assuming Dec 1941?
