this is a Greek return from a few years back when they were last in stock in any kind of quantity. I've dated the Rem 4.03mil to Nov. 1943 production, it has a RA 9/43 bbl date with flaming bomb w/punch.

Does the RA on the bbl mean Rem. Arms or RIA rebuild? it looks like it was reparked and put away, the metal is like new, all 'R' marked save for front sight blade marked 'A'. Did this go thru a rebuild at RIA, receive the bbl stamp, or do I have this wrong--went thru rebuild but the RA is for Rem Arms?

What does the 'A' on the front sight blade indicate, manuf. or size?

I saved the original straight stock and put on a CMPicon C stock, it appears to have a 4 groove bbl, I see rifling at 12/3/6/9 o'clock, MW is just under 2, no gauge for TE but bore looks very good.

What is the torque spec for the action screws and is it recommended to loctite ?
