The Remington barrel is a liitle odd
Not odd in the least, its quite common to find mixes between receiver and barrels.
During the war, (and after storage) damaged barrels would be replaced with barrels pulled off of damaged rifles, parts is parts.
The couple years post WWI found millions of the M1917 rifles improperly stored, turning into piles of rust (after rebuild no less)
so they had to dismantle a good percentage of the rifles to re rebuild them and more mixing happened then (and more parts went to the trash can).

It really looks like a replacement stock, its a very sweet looking - not dinged up stock by the way.
One thing you might do is pull the stock and see if there are any markings on the interior i.e. barrel channel or behind buttplate.
I would be interested to know if there are any marks there.
a circle "P" proof under the hand guard
Thats a kind of confusing statement, is it stamped on the underside of a handguard or on the stock below the handguards?
