Remington M1903 1942 Mfg.

[iron sights]

I bought this Remington M1903 at what I considered a parts gun price; thinking I'd break it up for parts. After disassembly and light cleaning I'm beginning to think it is worth replacing the missing magazine parts, and keeping it complete. The serial # is 3225014 which indicates manufacture in September 1942, the barrel is marked RA 8 42. The C stock has a cartouche that reads SA SPG in a box. The butt plate is a bit strange, it looks to me like some prior owner stippled a flat smooth butt plate with random punch marks and perhaps I should consider replacing that part as well. I think that the August 42 dated barrel is probably original but am wondering if the Springfield Armory is or not. I'd appreciate any opinions or advice.Attachment 101317Attachment 101318Attachment 101319Attachment 101320Attachment 101321
