My brotherIL picked up two REM 03's that had cut or replacement stocke, etc's. Based upon his description, minus a few stock parts they appear to be complete RA so I am going to try and provide him parts from what I have on hand. Need some help in getting it correct as he wants to install full length stocks.
3112xxx/ 5-42 RA brl (that's all I have). non boxed RLB? I suspect this may have a few milled parts. Stamped butt plate with stamped sling swivel and band spring?
3211xxx 8-42 brl. FJA stock? Would all the barrel bands, springs, butt plate etc., be stamped by this time frame or still a mix?
When did Remington quit using the serifed type cut off on their 03 rifles? I'm sure John B has mentioned it before or in his Man at Arms articles but those are still boxed in storage.
He is approx. 400 miles away or I'd take some picks.
