    03a4 barrel

    HI All..
    I need help with this one.....
    A friend found himself an 03a4 barreled action this past weekend with a "Z" serial number.
    The barrel has the correct date ( 9-43 ) and it is a Remington barrel, but it is 4 groove....
    All my information says it should be a 2 groove.
    Also " USN in small letters stamped on the underside ????????
    Any info would be appreciated..
    Thanks in advance...
    Regards, Richard

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
