I purchased this on a whim. It appeared to be in very good condition and close to the military configuration that I can tell. For the most part from the info I found apears to be mostly Remington parts.
I know the stock was refinished but retains the FJA,P and other proof marks
Serial number is 3,542,ish barrel is marked SA 3-43 over all it looks nice. I just dont know if the reciever and barrel where reblued or did they come blued ? The barrel appears to be in good shape. Far better than anything I have seen when I come across these. One mark that seems to have me stumped is in the flameing bomb on the barrel there is a dot or punch mark in the center of the bomb. The markings on the barrel are very faint and I suspect this was do to a refinish and reblue ? I used the headspace guages gonogo set and it passed.
I just dont know if I should be happy or meh??? Piad 375.00 pics are not great but im luck to even get my camera to work and down load pics. I plan on shooting it @ my clubs CMP monthly gathering.Information
