I recently acquired this 1903 Springfield and would like some opinions from the experts. It's serial number 6688xx with an SA 4-17 barrel and the stock has a boxed J.F.C. and very faint circle P proof. I know the handguard is a later WW2 replacement and I believe the bolt body is RIA. The bolt has a small S on the front of the handle and R 4 under the handle. As far as I can tell the rest of the rifle is correct. Also on the stock are two small star cartouches, one on the toe between the buttplate and sling swivel and the other on the heel. Do these have any significance or just Bubba being creative?

Thanks
Andrew
