M1903A3 with Scant stock Question

I've run across a nice looking Remington M1903A3. It is in a "scant" stock. The stock is marked on the left hand side with: RA, Ordnance wheel/crossed cannons, and a boxed FJA. There is a much fainter Circle P firing proof on what little pistol grip there is. The is a random smattering of unboxed capitol letters (maybe 1/8 inch) in front of the trigger housing: A, H, P, etc.

Because 1) the stock is very nice and smooth, 2) the circle P is faint (sanding?), 3) the RA, FJA and ord wheel are crisp, and 4) I've not seen unboxed inspector marks before - I am inclinded to believe that the markings (most or all) are after the fact "Bubba" value enhancments.

The serial number is 39706XX and the barrel is an RA 8-43.

Don't see many scant stocks so I don't know if this is typical or not? What say you gentlemen?

Does the right side have a "groove" for a "bent" down bolt? If not, it is my considered opinion the markings are fake. The only Remington-marked Scant stocks were used on M1903A4 sniper rifles.

markings are not likely G.I. cannons dont look right..

No. There is no relief cut on the right hand side of the stock for the bent sniper bolt. Can't abide restamping. I have a dandy (fat) "C" stock this can go in. I haven't fired it yet, we'll see what kind of shooter she makes.

notice the stock is sanded pretty well, and the markings crisp...

Note how the edges of the same notch are rounded; they should be sharp, like this:

The stock has been "lovingly sanded & refinished".
