    I'm looking forward to it when I get home. I don't know much about all the stamps and stuff, but don't really care either.

    I am curious about the four small markings on the underneath portion of the stock. Any takers?

    They are just various inspectors marks. The square, circle and box are Remington marks. I don't know if there are any records on who or what they mean.

    Don't worry if plan "A" fails, there are still 25 other letters in the alphabet.

    Looking for S/A bayonets s/n 922033 & 1045220

    Welcome to the bolt gun fraternity! When I first started competitive rifle shooting I had an accurized 03A3 done by a former marine gunsmith. When I turned it in for an M1 I thought I was using reduced loads! There is a differance in the recoil impulse of the two and at first I was all over the target till I got used to the M1. Wouldn't part with my M1 but I do have a 03A3 in the background ready for use and trying to build another.
