Remington 03/A3 FJA Cartouche

[Greg V]

Thanks Mike.

I took some pictures of some that I have. The stock on my SC Rifle does have a round cut and an E in the barrel channel. It is a CMP rifle that was arsenal overhauled at some point. It has a boxed RIA/EB on the butt, so I can't say it is original to that rifle. It has stock pins rather than bolts. It is serial # 4,734,xxx.

The spare stock that I have also has the round cut and an E in the channel. It also has stock pins.

The O3A4 has a C stock with an S in the cutoff groove, square band spring cut, and a BA/JPL stamped over a faint, boxed FJA. Guess this rifle was built at Benicia Arsenal.

The NIB stock has a square band cut and only a W in the receiver area and barrel channel. Obviously it would have no inspector stamps.

I have more pictures in the link if anyone is interested.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but does this cartouches look bogus to someone else?
It looks too new. I hope the pic is ok, I do not have better pics (rifle is being auctioned on a site). I am contemplating purchasing this rifle, but am concerned about the cartouches.

Disclaimer: I am not very knowledgable about these, so sorry if this is stupid/in-correct
