    RIA 1903 381XXX. Good? Bad? Ugly.

    I'll let the pictures tell the tale. Please let me know if I should include any other pics and thanks in advance for any information.



    Bolt is marked J6, forgot to take a picture.

    Now the ugly.



    The stock is badly cracked.

    And then this little guy. I have a protector for the front sight as well but I need to find it. Don't remember what the markings are. I can't find a pic of one of these that has the U S stamped.



    I purchased the rifle with sling, sight protectors, and uncut bayonet around eight years ago, I think, for around $700.

    I guess my questions are 1. Is this just a rebuilt parts gun or could it be an intact barreled receiver? 2. Is the stock worth doing anything with or should I look for another one and, if so, what would be suitable? 3. Any insight on the sight protector, any record of these being issued items?
