Another Question About Remington 1903 and 03A3

Answers to my previous post about low 3,000,000 Remington 1903's got me wondering about the other end of Remington 1903 production. Joe Poyer's book indicates that around 1,900 03-A3's were made and mixed in with 1903's in 12/43 and that serial #3,339,217 was around the last number produced that month. (Member Don McManus posted that he has 1903 (modified) #3,336,426.) Poyer also indicates that 1903 production was finally phased out by 3/43 and that #3,520,614 was the last number used that month. In other words, 1903 receivers were still in the system from the end of 12/42 to the end of 3/43. I have #3,459,907 and it's an 03-A3. I'm now wondering if anyone has a 1903 with a number between 3,339,217 and 3,520,614.
