I just went and checked my O3A3 and on the upper end of the barrel between the stock and the front sight is marked RA, the flaming pot and 7-44. There are a few markings on the sight itself but no *. I have often heard of "star gaged barrels" but never knew the "rest of the story". It certainly sounds plausible but I had never heard that story before. Interesting!!! Quantrill
