I went to look at the Remington 03A3 this afternoon.....

It looks like a good one for me..LOL. I'm curious, the stacking swivel looks like it has green park
on it? And does it matter if the bands, swivels, and bayonet stud/band is green park?

Is this something they would've done with a arsenal rebuild? I assume the original finishes were
blued, except for the receiver.

Regards,

The gun which I pictured is within 5,000 units of the end of 03-A3 production in Feb of 1944. A few near the very last received some parkerized parts. This is a little more prevalent toward the very end of the Smith Corona run.
