Also, the bolt has several R markings, the stock is marked RA close to a marking FJA, and there are markings SS and OG on the butt. Do those tell you anything? Also, all visible parts are parkerized.

Yes Clark. The 'serialization charts' had to be carefully calculated using the only available information namely the serial number ranges. and the number of rifles manufactured and shipped each month. An adjustment had to be made for scrapped receivers as well. The oother lists serve as a cross check but when you see a date thats out of sequence its almost certainly a replacement barrel.

For more information on how the serailization charts were created scroll up to the stick section and select the listing for the Remington Society of America.
