Project Description
This is a 1/2 scale 1903 Remington/Springfield U.S. WWI & WWII bolt action battle rifle as made by Remington Arms. Made by Miniart in Moscow, Russia in the 1990’s. 21 1/2″ long overall with a 11 1/2″ barrel of .151 caliber. Most of the parts of this miniature are machined steel, but some of the small parts are stamped steel just like on the full size version. Straight grained dark walnut stock and upper handguard with an oil finish. The front receiver ring marked “U.S., REMINGTON, MODEL 1903, 038” in four lines. The bolt release marked “OFF” & “ON”. The rear sight has the proper graduated distance markings. The safety marked “READY” & “SAFE”. The bottom of the barrel just ahead of the nose cap marked “MINIART RUSSIA”. The buttplate with the hinged trapdoor for a cleaning rod, no cleaning rod included. Fully functional including the safety. Sling swivels on the bottom of the nose cap & the bottom rear of the buttstock. Fully functional including the safety. The rear sight adjusting knobs & the bolt knob are knurled. The end of the bolt stop is serrated. Near mint condition showing only the faintest traces of handling, I’d call it 99% except for a small hairline crack at the top rear of the receiver &.the extractor, part of the rear sight, & the floorplate have turned a plum purple color. Priced accordingly. Price: $1,750.00.
