Strange 03-A3 proof mark?
I have a Remington 03-A3 that I have had for 20+ years after getting it from an uncle who had it probably longer than that. It is serial #'d 395928* with a barrel date of 9-43. It is all "R" marked excepth the stock which has an "E" in the barrel channel and FJA, OG and US stamped in the wood.
My question is when I took it apart to clean I noticed it has an IRON CROSS as a proof mark on the barrel in the chamber area. Is this a regular thing? I never expected to see it.
I never completely stripped it down since it was given to me unfired as there was no wear on the parkerising. I finally took her out and let my daughter put 20 rounds down range both the rifle and my daughter shot well

It is small in the chamer area... I'll try and get a picture tomorrow. The reason I took it apart was a friend told me to look there for a barrel date code that all Remington rifles have, thats when I noticed it.
thanks for the welcome, I've been around for a while but I hardly ever post on forums, maybe I'm beginning to turn over a new leaf
