    On 18 January 1943 Remington directed to divert from production 20,000


    M1903A3 rifles for conversion to the U.S. Rifle M1903A4 (Sniper's). Rifles
    #3407088-3427087 (from the first "block" of numbers) were diverted, and
    the first "03-A3" converted was delivered in February 1943.

    On 20 June 1943 an additional 8,365 M1909A4 rifles were ordered. "Block"


    for these rifles and possible future orders were 4922001-5784000. After this
    block had been used to 4997045, receiver marking was changed to "03-A4"
    and a new series of numbers begun with Z4000000.
    The second "block" of "03-A3" numbers was used only to about 4168800
    before cancellation of contract ended "03-A3" production 28 February 1944.
    In March 1944, with receiver Z4002290, production of the M1903A4 was
    ended. Total production was 1,056,276 rifles, which included about 345,000
    M1903 and M1903 (modified), about 711,276 M1903A3, and just 26,653
    M1903A4 (short of the 28,365 ordered)
