Remington 03a3 Stock marking question

[bczandm]

Is the RA a rebuilt stamp or a Remington stamp. I don't think this rifle is rebuilt, but the RA has me wondering. I bought it as I thought it was a pretty clean rifle and not a rebuild. See photo link, the receiver is in the 4.1 million range and the barrel is dated 12/43 which seems correct. Also the P on the stock has a #2 right next to is, what does that mean?

Additionally the guy that I got this from has a Smith Corona that had a stock that was as new with the SA mark but no other markings. I assume it was a replacement stock as the rest of the gun was clearly rebuilt but was wondering if I am correct on that. No P, cross cannons or anything else on the stock, a C stock that was clearly old.
