Remington M1917 New Addition

[jsmosby]

I just picked this up last night and have not had the time to go through it in detail. From what I've read it appears to be in its original as built configuration having no re-work stamps, correctly marked Remington components when viewed without disassembly and hollow shank expanded barrel ring screws. At this point I am not going to disassemble it, just gentle cleaning and off to the range. The end of stock is stamped with and "R" (serifs possibly?) preceeded with the number "2". What, if anything, does the number represent? I've only seen letters to date. Inspector marks and associated numbers on the stock near the trigger guard are within the Remington range. Here's a reference link. I will post my photos when I get done cleaning it
