Remington 1903A4

[JGaynor]

An original A4 barrel should not have the bright area near the muzzle they were parkerized.
Also original A4 barrels received a punch mark at the Remington factory, at 6 o'clock, under the parkerizing in the area where this one is so marked. It appears that a spare 03-A3 barrel has been mated to the original receiver and someone added the punch mark to make it look more correct.

This A4 was one of the last manufactured and most probably had a late middle version of the M73B1 telescopic sight with "click" adjustments.

Are there any indications this rifle may have been issued to a non-U.S. military?

Regards,

Jim
