I picked up a sporterized Remington 1903-A3 for very little money. My thoughts are to get it back into an original stock (more visually appealing to me). A couple of things I noticed is the butt plate has been shaved on one side to match the contour of the stock and the '03-A3 rear sight is missing parts.

My question is why does my '03-A3 have an '03 rear sight in addition to the '03-A3 rear sight? The serial number of the '03-A3 receiver is 4127122 and the barrel has the familiar Remington markings and a 1 - 42 date. The front sight has a hood covering it with Remington markings.
