Picked up a 1903 Rock Island Arsenal sporter. I want to purchased the correct stock for restoration. After doing a lot of researh I am still having issues identifing the proper stock and stock markings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Looking at the serial number (3775XX) I beleive that this is a RIA receiver that was assembled by SA. The barrel on this gun is SA 4-28 (I am thinking original). Found a posting that says that there were only 25,600 of these guns, so.... it is a little hard to find any info.
I am thinking that a Type 4\5 stock would be correct for this gun, but am unsure as to inspector marks. Any information or thoughts about the correct stock OR information on the gun itself would be great. Also since there is no stock hardware what kind of markings\hardware should I be looking for?
Thanks for any input.Information
