The stock has been refinished. No cartouches or markings remain. Note the two (stabilization-?) rods--they are different from others I&#39;ve seen... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the picture. The &quot;slots&quot; on the rear receiver bridge indicate your receiver was originally designed to be a M1903A3, not a M1903. The rear
receiver bridge was modified to accept the ramp-type M1903A3 rear sight. However, there were difficulties with the sight and it was decided to complete the
receivers as M1903s, rather than have them &quot;lie around&quot; waiting for the M1903A3 rear sight to be perfected.

These &quot;slots&quot; are found on all Remington... ]]></description>

Rick, a plan view of the receiver as suggested.   I &#39;preciate your input.

			<description><![CDATA[ Unfortunately, there is not a single book that really does the job. The closest is Bruce Canfield&#39;s &quot;An Illustrated Guide to the &#39;03 Springfield
Service Rifle&quot;.

Thanks for the picture and clarification, Parashooter. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey--thanks for this excellent information.
<br>
<br>
So--my rifle&#39;s stock was &quot;pinned&quot;--interesting.  Glad to learn that the stock &amp; receiver are likely original mates.
<br>
<br>
Do you guys have a favorite book / manual covering the &#39;03 and its variants-?
<br>
<br>
Thanks again,
<br>

Virtually all previous M1903s had what are called stock &quot;bolts&quot; (they have an &quot;official&quot; name, but it escapes me at the moment) which were
introduced relatively early in M1903 production to combat the splitting of stocks.  In late 1942, it was decided to introduce stock &quot;pins&quot; as a way
to say on materials and labor (one of many attempts to introduce shortcuts in production).  They were much simpler to make and install.  These were used in... ]]></description>
