    The '03s received only stock stamps of the arsenal and a separate firing proof under the grip if rebuilt. Some receivers were punch marked by the serial at various arsenals, but meanings aren't documented.
    Garands received Electro Pen dates on the receiver legs under the wood by a few arsenals in the '60s.
