Can't say much on the symbols. Congrats on the gun, nice that it is completely matching.

Nice rifle.
As for the small markings, I believe they are arsenal marks. Not the same as the big one by the serial number but still signifying where the part was made. They should all match. I can't be sure of this as they are not mentioned in my available book but it is something that was pointed out to me when I was seeking a dust cover. It is possible to match the three digit serial number every 1000 but they also have these small marks which would also need to match.

I'll check into the additional arsenal markings. It seems as though they (for the most part??) match, aside from the bolt release having two additional markings than the sights.
I am missing the dust cover and bayonet, but really don't think I'll ever seek them out. I would like to use the cleaning rod, but will likely just use a bore cleaning snake. Seems as though a 30-06 size would do the job nicely.
Thanks for the reply!
