thanks for the link, I found it a while back while I was researching my first 1903 but haven't been able to find a month to month list of serials. this rifle was manufactured after Remington discontinued A3s and started focusing solely on A4s. the serial dates to march of 1944 and the barrel is marked 8-44 so I'm not sure ho long these receivers sat around waiting for barrels. from what I understand however there was little special attention given to the rifling on A4 barrels so many had to be re-barreled a few times before they found one with above average accuracy but that's just going off of what I've read in forums and heard on history channel specials.
