Anybody know which old gun this is?

It's my friends, that he inherited from his late father-in-law, an accomplished gunsmith.    The SN is visible, bult the gun is quite old and has been blued several times, the manufacturer, caliber and model is unreadable.

1903 Springfield?

 ,  Did Remington build them for the military?  A3 I think

Been cruising the web since 3Under posted his response.   I think you are both right.  Thanks

03 fer sure, under the rear scope mount it will say if A3 or A4. Friend in Montana has an old sporterized A4.

not enough in the pictures to tell which variant it is but it is a 1903-Asomething.  Either an A1 or an A3.

Ouch, didn't notice that.  His wife e-mailed them to me

Aren’t most bolt guns cocked when you close the bolt? Normally doesn’t mean it is loaded. Though I am not familiar with that model to know for sure
