New Remington Pattern 14 - PICS

[thrawnformbi]

Morning all - I've wanted a P14 to add to my Enfield collection and came across this Remington at auction. I could see that the stock had been sanded but I felt confident I could get it back to a darker color. I was just hoping you all had some insights into the rifle. There are some markings I cant seem to find an explanation for.

I understand the maltese cross signifies emergency use only but its hard to gauge what that means 80 years later. Was this due to obsolescence or an armorers decision it was unsafe to fire.

I have found a CAI import stamp on the barrel. Does anyone remember when these were brought in and from where?

Anyway, hoping you all might have some info to help me better understand this rifle. I wonder if you think there are better P14's out there to add to my collection instead. The sale isnt final.
