Fairly common mid production, it's a pinned straight stock for an A3. To tell if Remington,need pics of any sub inspector stamps forward of the trigger cut out, and cut out slot for the lower band retainer.
The OG is a rebuild stamp from Ogden arsenal.
Nice score with metal included.

It's a Remington, you can see the RA just ahead (left) of the Ordnance stamp. Has been sanded and through rebuilt once at Ogden. Weren't the pinned a little "later early" on production?

Normally, the RA appears on the later M1903A3 stocks with bolts; however, there was apparently a "transition" phase where pinned stocks were still in use with Remington started stamping RA on their stocks.

I see the RA now that you point it out Randy. I'm glad Rick saw this thread to help on the time frame. Constant transition seems the rule with these!
