Correct barrel for Rock Island 1903 ?

[Rick the Librarian]

Any time ... I'm also looking for a 1917 or later RIA to mount in a RIA/Philippine Ordnance Depot stock.

Care to elaborate on that? What is and makes it a RIA/Philippine Ordnance Depot stock?

The stock has a POD stamp which identifies it as having been mounted on a rifle which went through inspection or overhaul at the Philippine Ordnance Depot, located at Fort Santiago, in Manila. The stock also has a "RI" stamp on the forward tip, which means it was mounted on a rifle made from 1917-1919 at Rock Island Arsenal.

I don't have any pictures of the stock, at the present time, or else I'd post them.
