This gun looks original to me, but I'll be taking it to a friend of mine that knows them inside out. 

 

Sept 1943 Winchester 03A3. From what I can see all of the markings look correct. The stock is even in really great shape albeit with some minor repairs.

It looks like the receiver has been drilled for a scope, then filled - maybe with lead?

 

I’ll defer to the milsurp market experts, but from what I’ve seen, that REALLY hurts value.

Blacksmith. 

That is another reason I'm having a gunsmith friend of mine check it over. Believe me I bought it right. It's gonna go in my gun cabinet regardless.

 

It is an awesome looking gun, with matching parts so I am happy.

 

Thanks,

Bob

It's a Remington, Winchester did not make 1903's.  And agree the receiver has been tapped for scope mount and filled in.  Should be a good shooter though.

Very nice. Even though the receiver has been drilled and filled, it should be a great shooter. My Smith Corona 1903A3 is on of my best shooting rifles.
