A.M. Little 03-A3 Build
|
|
Sharing a Remington 03-A3 build I recently completed. The original 30 GOV 1906 barrel was turned down to a lightweight profile by me and banded accessories added. The action was polished up and square bridge mounts fabricated and soldered on. Bottom metal is Wiebe's which had the depth decreased. Stock is of my style, built to the customers provided dimensions using a well designed piece of Australian Walnut from Roger Vardy. The rifle finished at 6lbs 10oz with its 23" barrel, unscoped. Its a delight to handle, petite in the hands, comfortable to carry all day afield, and built for business!
Since delivery it has gone abroad to Namibia and accounted for a few Duiker, Steenbok, and a Jackal. It has many more trips in store.

Hi Aaron,
I like this rifle!! Very well designed and done for my taste! The barrel is too thin to my like but the owner is delighted, I imagine!
Best!
