Thank you for the nice article. I am just back to the board after a long hiatus. I have a Remington 1903A3 that is "out of the crate" new - though it bears an arsenal rebuild mark from Ogden. When I purchased this one - I had never seen one before but have seen a few since come up at auction. I have read in my research that large numbers of WWII arms were sent to Ogden right after the war - including anything that had not been issued - and that anything that went through received a stamp - whether it was rebuilt or not. Have you heard anything about this? Other than the "OG", this piece is nearly identical today as in 1943. Its so new, I rarely even operate the bolt. DM
