.30 caliber. 22" heavy barrel length. SN: 3863858. This device was developed by ammunition expert Dr. F.W. Mann prior to WWII to test the characteristics of different ammunition types. This model was most likely manufactured/used post-war considering it is a Model 1903-A3. These special barrels were screwed into place, and then the collar of barrel was secured into V-block mounts to test accuracy, velocity, and firing pin indentation of Model 1903/1903-A3 rifles. Item is a bolt action rifle featuring a special heavy barrel manufactured by Remington. Blued metal finish to barrel and parkerized finish to receiver. Wood stocks on these devices were cut down to about the size of a pistol stock configuration, and feature a plain straight grip. Markings include U.S./REMINGTON/MODEL 1903-A3/3863858 to receiver, and barrel is marked HEC/1971/7553795/9805-0328 forward of collar in white accents. Bolt handle is etched 656 to top. Included with item is a tag that is marked 12-22-72/92 R.D.S/FIRED, obverse side is marked #3863858/H.S. 1629/P.P. .061/P.I. .021/B.B.L. #328. Consignor purchased this item from the CMP.
