    Information on 1903A3 Springfield Armory rebuild

    I have a Remington 03A3 manufactured in January 43, with a 2-43 barrel date, that was apparently rebuilt at Springfield Armory. The stock cartouche is a closed box with SA and what looks like a lower-case "d" below it. There is an upper-case "D" in the recess under the cut-off. There are no other stock markings. All of the parts appear to be Remington, except the extractor has an "S" on the underside, which I think is Smith-Corona? It came with a Hoyt 1918 sling and the oiler/cleaning kit was in the butt trap. Someone cut the top of the peep aperture to make a kind of buckhorn sight. If anyone can offer any details as to the significance of the letter markings, date of rebuild, etc, I would be grateful.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
