My 03-A3 has the date month and yr on top of the Army ordinance symbol “the flaming piss pot” at the end of the barrel. Also look at the end of the muzzle for a * stamped in the end of it. All the rifles came off the same assembly lines but the ones that were measured and were found to be within a special tolerance were used as sniper rifles. These are wroth more $. I have a book put out be Remington with this info in it and if I weren’t in the middle of a move I would put the reference info for it here. I promise I didn’t mack up the * thing. Everybody always thinks I made that up. Has anyone else read about that or have an 03 with that stamp in the end of the barrel?
