New Remington 03A3

[BarnacleBill]

Greetings to all.

This forum is a wealth of information, so I may have a rebarreled rifle. I just picked up a Remington 03A3, Receiver is 34614XX, 2-groove Barrel is dated RA 11-43. I understand the receiver should be about Feb 43, so it may be rebarreled.

The rifle has all correct Remington parts, what parts that should be blued are all blued, receiver and barrel are parkerized. The wear on the rifle seems pretty even.

Only two marks on the straight stock: faint boxed FJA back behind the cut-off, left side, normal place, and a circle "P" below the trigger guard. Stock has what appears to be brass pins through the stock for reinforcing, one close to the bolt handle, and one close to the forward action screw. Small Remington sub-inspection marks (4 ea) are ahead of the front magazine screw underside of the stock. Faint circle on the end of the stock under the barrel. No other markings can be seen on the stock.

I would have thought a rebarreled rifle would have an arsenal rework stamp? Any ideas? Many thanks for all for the help.
