Remington M1903A3

[Mike D]

TXoperator was nice enough to email me some photos, but I could not download them to post them. Done it before, but didn't work this time? I was able to view them.

Ya got a nice rifle. It has all the proper mix of blued and parked parts, no signs of a rebuild. Pinned stock with "RA", "FJA" without box, and the crossed cannons.

I'm glad I was able to view the rifle, it brings up some questions I have. Correct me if I'm wrong, pinned stocks were phased out in mid-'43. I think I'm right on that.

Is there a known time period or serial range on when the "RA" was first stamped on Rem A3 stocks? I know the early ones did not have it.

Also, is there a known "range" for the "FJA" not enclosed in a box? Am I correct to assume this is also a feature of early Rem A3 stocks?

Hope thats not too many questions. Mike
