Thank you very much! I appreciate all of the information.
Here is the rifle in question that I saw on Gun broker. It's interesting to me for some reason.

I'm curious as to what that feature is on the top side of the magazine cut off selector. It's certainly not a Mark I cut off.

[Fred]

I think that this rifle might be an excellent candidate for a USMC rifle.

[Rick the Librarian]

It has a "B" on the floorplate, which would be a sign that the floorplate, at least, came from a Greek M1903.

Last digits of the serial number on the top of the bolt handle suggest Greek heritage as well.

That's what I'd originally thought too, then I got to remembering that somebody mentioned the Marines numbered their bolts as well. I thought that the Greeks numbered their bolts along the body or along the bolt handle, not at the top of the base. Also, because I've never seen a Greek return with a matching bolt and receiver number, I just figured that these weren't Greeks. There are two more rifles on Gun broker within this serial number range that also have the last four numbers of the receiver on the top flat of the bolt base. One has a stippled butt plate and the other has a serrated butt plate. Both have the Hatcher hole as does the rifle I mentioned above.

I think the last four on the top of the bolt handle is a sign from Greek use I believe.

I have this one that would have to a USMC rebuild. It has just about every trait except for the punch mark in front of the serial. But it has.

1) USMC Segley 1942 Barrel
2) vice marks on barrel
3) stippled Buttplate
4) light green USMC finish
5) englarged bolt gas hole
6) hatcher hole
7) serialized bolt
8) no cartouches on stock


This is the serial number markings on the bolt. I believe this what the USMC markings should look like.

I have a Greek return Remington 1903 I bought from the CMP. It's bolt is deeply engraved on the ball.

Thanks cplnorton! Thanks Jim! I appreciate the information! It clears things up for me.
