    Also most of the rifles in this s/n range have MARCH 43 barrels.

    Pvt Joker are there any remnants of any stock markings? left side behind trigger; in the cut off notch; forward of magazine or on the grip or wrist?

    Here's what I could find left on it. It almost looks like someone, at some time, had tried to checker it and then sanded that off. But the marks that are left are these:

    I got a Lyman Alaskan scope and rings coming from eBay, a Redfield base (in the red box) coming off Gunbroker, and am watching a bolt auction there too. The stock; well, you can see the pictures I posted. I don't think there's any "fixing" the original one at this point, but do I keep the modified original or do I get one of the repro C stocks (either the CMPicon or the SARCO ones) ?
