Just wondering what you guys think. It looks "off" to me. I do see that the F seems to be correctly spaced in relation to the JA, but shouldn't the horizontal line in the A be lower?

Here's mine.https://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/deleted.gif[/QUOTE][/IMG]
I want yours!
Come to think of it, I don't remember even seeing the RA on the stock in question. I'll have to see if I can find it again.
Well, 'Crud' Greg!
If you like Mike's so much, you can't have mine. ;)

Early Remington's and all LC Smith-Corona's didn't have the RA. It would help if you could post your rifles s/n (or most of it) and a pic of the slot for the rear band retaining spring.Quote:

Here is some pics of my stock that is from my Remington o3a3. I thought I was 90% sure that it was a remington stock untill you mentioned the E stamp in the last pic. Anyone confirm what the E is?Quote:

It sure looks like it's a Remington stock to me. I guess the E thing isn't reliable. I do believe that the upper band spring cut is still a good indicator, but I can't remember which one is square cut and which is round.
Greg - Remington ='s square...SC is round. Also SC has a distinctive sub-inspector stamp pattern forward of the trigger guard. See the link above to Vi-Shooters siteQuote:

The spare stock that I have also has the round cut and an E in the channel. It also has stock pins.
The O3A4 has a C stock with an S in the cutoff groove, square band spring cut, and a BA/JPL stamped over a faint, boxed FJA. Guess this rifle was built at Benicia Arsenal.
The NIB stock has a square band cut and only a W in the receiver area and barrel channel. Obviously it would have no inspector stamps.
I have more pictures in the link if anyone is interested.

It looks too new. I hope the pic is ok, I do not have better pics (rifle is being auctioned on a site). I am contemplating purchasing this rifle, but am concerned about the cartouches.
Disclaimer: I am not very knowledgable about these, so sorry if this is stupid/in-correct :o
This is my take:Quote:

2. I suspect you are right tthe markings were added more recently. Check the stock for subinspectors marks on the underside just forward of the magazine box. Also check the side of the buttstock for a rebuild depot mark.
