    Default RLB or R L B......?

    What is the significance of The bowed RLB, and the spaced, unboxed R L B on Remington stocks? Did one come first? If so which......Thankyou in advance....

    Boxed RLB, then unboxed RLB then spread RLB (last two may be reversed). Maybe Frank Beard will step in here.

    I believe JB said that the boxed and unboxed RLB were close but I know the "spread" RLB (R L B) came last.

    The order of appearance was:

    (1) Boxed RLB
    (2) Unboxed spread R L B
    (3) Unboxed RLB

    Overlap exists.

    Interesting ...in my (admitted unscientific) observation of mid-ranged Remington M1903s, I usually see "spread" RLB stamps on later rifles than the other two.

    I'd say a "spread" RLB.
