03A3 bolt sleeve question

[John Peeff]

Did Remington ever use the scalloped Smith Carona type bolt sleeve? I thought I read somewhere that they did toward the end of production. I have never seen one stamped with a R but have 2 like new 03A3's (Rem) that hav BP marked sleeves.

I concur with Don W. Remington never made or used any scalloped Smith-Corona style bolt sleeves.

Your "B.P."-marked sleeves were made by Bay Products on an Ordnance spare parts contract.
