I wasn't very clear about selling a gun, the RIA regional auction usually has guns bundled. This one came with a Husqrvana 30-06 that I need to get rid of.
The bulk of the '03 sporters made just after the war seem to be Remingtons and they also seem to be in 30-06 with the original barrels. They typically turned the barrel down enough to eliminate the rear sight spline. This one having a neat method by making 3 flats, if you look closely you can see the end of the spline just in front of the receiver.
The gun was real grungy and it all cleaned up nicely except for the bells of the scope which have some pitting from old leather caps, the caps did not come with the rifle.
I also wonder about the added safety as the wood is lighter in color around it and I wonder if maybe it was added after the gun was made.
