US Remington 03-A3

[Bad_Bowtie]

Im trying trying to find a bolt assembly for a U.S. Remington 03-A3 Serial # 3402XXX. I saw in a cheaper than dirt magazine they had a Springfield 1903-A3 bolt for about $45. Are these interchangable? Where would be the best place to get one?

Yes, they are mil-spec and interchangeable. The rifle design is "Springfield 1903-A3" and it does not mean the bolt is actually built by Springfield. More likely its Remington or Smith Corona. I'm not certain, but I don't believe Springfield actually produced any A3's, just the original 1903. There are a few guys on here that would be able to answer that better than I.

I'd start with the Gun Parts Company, which is Numrich Arms by another name. They're about the biggest and oldest parts outfit around. They have a website you can order off of if you find the part you want.

You are correct Sir. Only Remington and Smith-Corona produced 03A3's.

The CMP forum.

That's the best place to start. You can even post a WTB there.

Not a complete bolt with firing pin, extractor, etc., but a start.

I believe this guy is good people. Never bought from him, but he's on the CMP forum all the time.
