Yesterday Jfal replied to my post on a 1903, and questioned the stamps on his Remington 1903A3. So maybe these pictures will provide some insight. Don't hesitate to ask any questions.
Top: Remington with stock reinforcement bolts, Bottom: Smith Corona with stock reinforcement pins
Top view. These were probably bought from the DCM for about $20 bucks back in the day.
Remington stock cartouches RA - Remington Arms, crossed cannons - Defense Acceptance Seal, FJA - Frank J Atwood (military inspector) The RA is faint but it's next to the stock bolt head. Notice the "R" on the cut-off. Most of the parts on Remingtons are so marked.
Smith stock cartouches crossed cannons - Defense Acceptance Seal, FJA - Frank J Atwood (military inspector)
Remington factory inspector markings
Smith Corona factory inspector markings
Both rifles are proofed with a P in a circle; however, Smiths have a letter between the proof and the trigger guard.
