Question about 03a3 large triggerguard.

[Rick the Librarian]

A M1903A3 in the 4,029,000 range is not an "early" rifle, but made towards the end of production; a large-bow trigger guard would be correct. A stock with pins instead of bolts would most likely be a replacement, as by that time in production, they had switched back to stock bolts. What markings do you see on the stock?

Thanks Rick for the reply on the left side above the trigger a rectangle with the letters FJA and a circle with crossed cannons in front of them. On the bottom Behind the trigger guard a large P in a circle. in front of the trigger guard 2 circles one with the number 60 in it and the other the number 62 and 1 square with the number 74 I think and 2 triangles both with the number 62. there are no other stamps on the stock. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Best regards Jb
