I have a pristine Remington 03a3 that appears correct in every way . It is a very late gun in the 4,190,000 ser no range but it has a 7/1943 rem barrel on it. Being that this is a very late gun near the end of production could it be possible that the barrel is original to it? Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't think so - the receiver dates to about January, 1944. Unless there was some problem with the "as installed" barrel and a spare 7/43 barrel was available."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."

Yes, but somewhat unlikely.

I agree with JB. Of those I have recorded in the 4,190,xxx ~~~ 4,198,xxx s/n range, barrel dates recorded are 7-43 to 12-43.
It would nice to know the full s/n of yours?
