Leave it as it is. People will still be able to tell it's a restored rebuild. And I would rather have one as an original rebuild, than a restored rebuild anyday.

Yes will leave it alone as RRAD ,Red river arsenal depot. I have a Winchester M1 Garand that is all so a papered DCM RRAD rifle 6-66 mixmaster with correct RRAD stamped stock and P in a square box. I decided not to correct it allso. For its a real Goverment overhaul correct as a mixmaster. Why spend a $1000 for parts to make a fake WW2 Winchester era fake. The RRAD M1 has , Sa bolt, SA op-rod ,LMR barrel,SA trigger group,RRAD replacement stock. My hats off to the woman and men that rebuilt them down in Texas in the middle 60's.

Making things "correct" is a fools errand. People don't realize they're damaging history by insisting on having all the parts share a brand name.

Leave it alone.

I also agree, leave it as it is. With the documents, it will tell the" true story" in the next century!
