    Unless any records state otherwise there is no way of knowing, a very large number of A4s left the factory in scant stocks. The fact that this stock is an authentic A4 stock "and" carries the RA and FJA stamps means that it left the Remington factory on an A4. Granted, could have been a different A4 but was still a new issue stock.
    I know there are a lot of folks out there that think scant stocks and 2 groove barrels were "2nd choice" or replacements, but that's not the case. There is strong evidence that a "majority" of the 2nd and 3rd production runs of A4s had scant stocks and a significant majority had 2 groove barrels.
