Mike: Yes, there is a clear encircled P under the wrist. Comparing my rifle with the one on the "sticky" I see one main difference- all parts of my bolt assembly are a matching colour of parkerizing (only the sight doesn't match). The stock throughbolts are identical. I should mention the metal of the receiver, barrel, etc. shows no scratches or dings of any kind other than a couple of tool marks on the barrel. Would arsenal rebuilds have been done at Springfield? It's amazing to put this one beside a 1918 Rock Island '03 that I have. I know it was a "wartime expedient" but they sure did cut some corners.
