I have had this one for a while. Just decided to post a few photos and ask about the cartouche. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Cartouches placed a little bit different than normally seen, but definitely original and good ( IMO ). Is it a pistol grip or a "scant" stock?
Thanks. It is a scant stock. The trigger guard is blued but the other hardware is Parkerized.
How about a couple full length pics? One each side? Just because we like to look...
i say, the stamps are questionable, also, the cross bolts arent staked in place.
Just found this thread. I'll post a photo of that area from my 1903A4 for comparison.
I have good providence of this being an original A4.
This is the first time I see the scope on a 1903A4 sniper rifle EP serial matched to the action. Is it a 330, 330C or M73B1 marked scope?
Any Arsenal overhaul stamps on the left side of the stock? A P cartouche behind the trigger guard that you can see?
Edit: just noticed there is a K in the mag cutoff. For what I remember Keystone only made replacement stocks, but no factory supply? If this is correct, the stock cartouches cannot be original.
OT: which manufacturer and year is the G/K.43 rifle, and is the scope mount matching numbers to the rifle?
