    That's an AAQ, as in Q, not a lower case a.

    Scant is stamped S in the cutoff, so an early one, made in '42.

    The stamps both look "new", or done near the same time. It would seem that one was...

    You've got a long way to go on that project, and likely have close to $1,500 in it before its all said and done. Original barrel would have been dated 8 or 9-43. Doesn't matter for your shooter,...

    Seems to be put together from parts, but it is a nice clean rifle. Id be willing to bet those cross bolts are not tightened.

    That's pretty good shooting. I guess the bulge is not close enough to the muzzle to affect accuracy much! Post some photos. I like seeing the many different styles of sporters. Never know what is...

    I think this quote was made in error, as any A3 stock can house a M1903. The handguard, on the other hand, is for the A3 only.

    I'd bet money the stock in question was made by Remington during its...

    Kinda early. 332xxxx were the first A3's. Looking at the VIshooter site, 2 groove barrels started to appear in production around the same time your rifle was produced.
