    Both CSAA and LSAA ate San Antonio Arsenal. I think the CSAA is WWII and the LSAA late WWII or early post-war. The FJA is an inspection stamp indicating the stock was originally mounted on a Remington M1903 or M1903A3, or a Smith Corona M1903A3. The FJA is Frank J. Atwood, the commander of the Rochester Ordnance District, which contained Remington and Smith-Corona. The "square" P-proof stamp was used during WWII by both San Antonio Arsenal and Red River Arsenal.

    Rick, the information that I have received from Charles Redfield states that the P in the square is post WW2. as a matter of fact there are two variations of the P in a square. First is the serifed P in a square on AA stocks and San Antonio Arsenal stocks with the rebuild non serif P in square and Red River Arsensal RRA rebuild stocks also with the non serifed P in a square

    Do you have information confirming that the P in a square is a WW2 stock rebuild stamp ?
