Additionally, the 3MG-K does not appear on any other weapon rebuilt for the government.

Im afraid that’s incorrect. I’ve read numerous forum posts about this stamp on 1903s and A3s.
Here’s some pics of a 1903 with the stamp:

I stand corrected!! Thanks for the heads up. That does put a different spin on the 3GM-K code.

I do like this theory — what more can be done to investigate it?
