    M1903A4 Remington 1943

    Re: M1903A4 Remington 1943 XARMOR...FJA.. I've seen that on M1911a1s. It would be nice to find an uncut stock, I will check MilSurp The nice thing about this A4 is the screws in the rifle and scope mount appear unturned. (Don't ya hate it when folks butcher screwheads?)
