The odd ones I have never resolved fully. I had a Remington 1903A3 receiver sportorized that had a Smith Corona 6 grove barrel (late 1943 as I recall) l that was put together in Australia in WWII at a repair station (and marked as such)
Receiver was new with no wear marks at all - it would seem an assembly of that and a spare barrel rather than repalcment for a shot out one (they did not shoot them that much and few saw combat, some yest but not lots)
And then got back to US. Smacks of someone with time on their hands, parts and build themselves a rifle and got it back to the US.
Other possibles on it of course, it was interesting.
Nothing wrong with caution, good to make as informed a decision as possible.
Merry Christmas as well.
