What specific stamps would be on a stock that was rearsnal-overhauled at an armory?

During WWII, the Army had a number of arsenals and depots overhauling M1903 series rifles. Some inspection stamps would include:

AAx = Augusta Arsenal, x = inspector's last initial
RIA/FK = Rock Island Arsenal, Frank Krack
RA-P = Raritan Arsenal, Harry Peterson
BAWL = Benecia Arsenal, William Lewis
SAAx = San Antonio Arsenal, x = inspector's last initial
O.G.E.K. = Ogden Arsenal, Elmer Keith

to name a few.
