A few questions regarding 03's rebuilt during WW2. Not counting rifles with "single heat treat" #s that have replacement barrels or the Sedgely 44 barrels.

Was the "hatcher" hole normally added during rebuild? Or was the addition of the hole limited to the pre-WW2 years?

Were "C" stocks "normal" for rebuild?

Were any of the rebuilds of "battle used" rifles? Or just broken/worn on hand?

And finally, why do some people consider the WW2 rebuilds "junk"?
