    This old M1903A3 turned to a life of crime when it couldn't keep up with the new kids. It was about to turn its life around and become a competition rifle or part of a collection when it fell in with the wrong crowd and got arrested instead.

    03A3 is WWII build...either Remington or Smith-Corona. Both are very fine rifles and can shoot with the big boys...if your shoulder can stand the recoil. It must be one of those concealable rifles the antis are always crying about.

    This is a military-style weapon that has no sporting use.

    It has a evil front lug for mounting a bayonet, and a stacking(!) swivel for combining dozens of these!

    I has an On/Off switch that allows the shooter to use a magazine with 5 rounds! Why does anyone need any more than one!

    Won't someone think of the children?!

    All in all though, that rifle looks to be in good shape. I hope someone takes it home vs. it getting destroyed. That thing is pretty valuable once you take that stupid sling off of course.

    Billy Jack wannabe. Looks just like another pot culture loser with a nice old rifle like the one he seen on a video game. Perpetuating a life of nothingless in a cloud of bong smoke while decorating obsolete weaponry.
    What a sad world we face in these times.

    It isn't all black
    It isn't an AR15
    It doesn't have a thingy that goes up!

    Neither was Our Kenyan President and look how well that turned out.

    It isn't an AR15

    I'm sure some MSM writer has ID'd it as one, or as an AK47, or as a pitbull.

    It doesn't have a thingy that goes up!

    I didn't look at it as closely as you apparently.
