Need help IDing and obtaining 03a3 stock hardware

[colreed]

I just acquired a Remington 03a3 SN 4133321 with RA 12-43 barrel. It has a USGI straight stock. Unfortunately, however, the previous owner sporterized the stock by sawing it off about 8 and one half inches forward of the front receiver ringe and liminating the top handguard. See pics below.

I have a new straight stock with handguard coming but it is without any hardware. I will be posting a WTB on this forum for the hardware needed to properly install the new stock and handguard.

From a 03a3 schematic I found, it appears I will need the following:
upper band
upper band screw
stacking swivel band
stacking swivel screw
lower band
sling swivel screw
sling swivel
guard screw front
handguard ring

I'm hoping all these parts can be summed up by referring to two "assemblies" that would include them all. If so, these would be what I would advertised to buy. But I have no idea what they would be called.

The stock on the rifle now has the buttplate and rear bottomside sling "ring" and attaching mount band with 2 screws. No other hardware. Will need the rest. And, I'll be looking for USGI parts around the 1943 time frame.

Any and all help you folks can give me to help me know what to purchase will be greatly appreciated.

Your parts list is accurate. Any parts dealer would know what you need.

The front guard screw which you now have should be ok.

One source you might try is Bill Ricca, I believe his web site is billricca.com

Unless you don't want to be bothered (and I don't blame you if you don't), try picking up the parts one- and two at a time. There is the "thrill of the chase".

Oh, not a problem. I don't mind being bothered. Just thought if could get from one source, the sender might match them up pretty good, finish wise, and would simplify shipping.
Have no input yet, but may have to go onezies and twozies.
Thanks

Hello,
I have all the parts you have on your list plus a couple you missed, the lower band retainer spring and the band swivel screws. Let me know, as the price is reasonable and the parts are good USGI.
Thanks
