Today I saw what is purported to be a WWII Rem. 03 rifle. It had the 1905 sight ahead of the breech, 1903 markings, but a Hi Standard 1943 barrel. The stock looks like the 'scant' stock which is not straight but doesn't quite have a pistol grip either. The trigger guard/floorplate/magazine is the 03A3 stamping type.
I know '03 rifles were made into WWII before the 03A3 was developed, but I've never seen the older type with a stamped trigger guard. Is this a mixed rifle?
