1903A4 Barrel Date

[jerrbear]

Just purchased a Remington 1903A4. Question arises about the barrel date. 3-43 on receiver serial #3418130 which I think dates to August of 43. Could this be the original barrel? Mirror bore. Thanks!

does it have the very small dot bottom of barrel back from the muzzle, far as I know orig will.

P on bottom of barrel and a dot in flaming bomb. That is all I see.

I have 03-A4 3413XXX with 6-43 barrel. Barrel has prick punch mark and P on bottom.

At this point I have to assume my barrel is a early dated replacement. 4 groove with a mirror bore. Because of the metal finish I believe the rifle has gone thru a rebuild. All the parts are the same finish except for the scope and the barrel which is a darker park. Very happy with the gun.
