Stock is a two pin also

It sounds like what you have is a rebuild.FJA (Frank J Atwood) RIA EB (Elmer Bjerke). That is a post war stamp.

Your description is that of a WWI rifle that was re-stocked after WWII with a Remington '03-A3 stock.

What else would you like to know about it?

I have no information on the "A with a 3 in it" beneath the bolt handle. I can't say that I've seen that particular marking.

I am not certain about the "X" on the fore end tip. But, the bomb is an ordnance inspection mark and is very common on Remington stocks.

Hope this helps.
