    Followup on 1903A4 questions with photos

    I recently purchased a 1903A4 (markings are in the correct location). The SN range is 3409172. The barrel is RA 12-43, two-grooved. Both receiver and barrel are the common gray/green pakerizing. It has not been reparked (IMHO). All marked parts are marked R. The stock has the correct markings forward of the trigger guard. It came in a CMPicon box, but with no paperwork. Questions:
    1. What shade of parkerizing should the bolt have? bolt shroud? striker rod?
    2. What shade of parkerizing should the buttplate have?
    3. What shade of parkerizing should the bands have?
    4. Is the barrel correct for the SN?
    5. What type of 7/8" rings were used with the Lyman Alaskan (top split or two piece)? And, when were the two types of 7/8" rings used?
    6. What value range would this piece fall in (wood and metal, including bore, are excellent)?
    This is a lot of information to be asking for, and I do apprecieate any comments that can be provided. --RBruce
