    Stock Stampings

    I am new to the 1903 rifle and need some help. My 03-a3 has several stamps in the stock forward of the magazine well. Can anyone tell me what they mean? They are very small (about the size of a pencil eraser). There are eight of them:
    circle with a zero in it
    circle with a 20 in it
    square with a 49 in it
    triangle with a s in it
    circle with a 6 in it
    circle with a 27 in it
    square with a v in it
    triangle with a 26 in it
    The rifle does have other stamps in the stock that I recognize as arsenal stamps and I see no other signs of it being imported. Any help?? THANKS in advance.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Those are sub-inspection marks applied by Remington at the factory as the rifle was manufactured and inspected.
