Picked up a nice Remington 1903A3 a few months back. It had a straight stock, but unfortunately, someone had previously sanded it down along with most of the stamps, which while still could be seen, were nothing but a shadow of their former selves.
Decided to put a "C" stock on it. Ordered a 1903 "C" stock from the CMP. Looked good when it arrived. Believe that it was made by Boyds for CMP. However, being that it was a 1903, needed to find a A3 hand guard. Ended up getting one from The Collector Source. Looked great upon arrival. However, this was advertised as NOS and being made during WWII. Hmmm.... didn't look to be nearly 70 years old. But what do I know. Wasn't going for anything period correct, so it really didn't matter.
Installation was rather easy. Not necessarily "drop in" but rather close. The hand guard is just a hair longer than the stock, but not really noticeable.
Put on about 7 or 8 coats of pure tung oil. Have let it cure for about two weeks. Here's the final product.
