I was given a No. 4 Mark 1/3 Stevens Arms rifle for Christmas. I believe I have deciphered most of the stampings and markings on the rifle. However, just a few questions.

One source I found said that Stevens had contracted to build 200,000 rifles but my serial number (43C3XXX) indicates mine was in the 433,000 range. Or, am I reading the serial number wrong?

"Englandicon" is stamped on the breech which I believe is an import stamp. Does this mean my rifle was made in the United Statesicon, sent to England, and then imported back to the U.S.? I have seen many rifles that don't have the "England" stamp.

Also, other rifles I have seen have R.A. Co. Ridgefield NJ and C.A.I. Georgia UT stampings. What is the significance of those stampings?
