What do you make of this M1903MkI USMC rebuild?

the trigger guard screws were factory staked

I have never seen a 1903 with staked screws, only read of the practice, but it wasn't from the factory it was a modification.

Paragraph 7: "Trigger housings would be filed to fit their actions, and trigger housing screws staked in place. Screw staking would be another practice from rifle team armorers that would filter down to standard Marine M1903 service rifles." Stick a micrometer on the front post of the trigger guard. I bet it's a bit shorter than the spec, which I don't have at hand.

Not sure what "normal" is, but the tang projection is .453" high on my rifle.
