Just a question on the dates? The serial # on the receiver is a 1943 SC make, I’m just curious why the muzzle is 12/42? I know Remington was parting out to get SC going from what I have read. Just wondering why the stamps are there? Thanks for your answers, nothing on googlefu was insightful.
 
I believe that is the correct barrel, type 5. See the attached images. That book is an excellent resource. I used it identify all of the parts of my SC 1903A3.

Wow, I might need a copy of that book. While not a ‘collector’ and will never be able to afford to be one, I have 3 different variants. 1903, 1903A1, and 1903A3 (Smith Corona) and I’m sure there’s some great information in there.

The book is awesome. It details every part down to the stacking swivels and bands.
