I have an Oct '43 Remington 03a3 with a 7-44 Remington replacement barrel that I purchase last summer. This rife is very clean, accurate and fun to shoot.

The stock is GI and I believe correct for the rifle, but at one point, someone sanded off many of the stamps. You an can actually feel, and from the right angle see, where the large inspection stamps were sanded off below the magazine cut off switch. I read somewhere that once upon a time it was common to sand off stamps unlike today. I'm curious if anyone has ever heard of this? The stamps on the bottom of the rife are faint but visible. Next to the circle P proof, I have a "H" - Does anyone know what the H stands for?

Thanks
