Is that the only month the pins were used?

A 1903 Remington is on Gunbroker now with that date barrel and a pinned stock. However the stock appears to have cut outs for an O3A3 handguard. Would this be original ?

Remington used pinned stocks from about 10-42 through mid-1943.

Not likely. But the serial number would provide a more conclusive answer.

Looks like 326k but photo is blurry, Stock has FJA and crossed cannons without the RA stamp. Condition not that good so may be an assembly. I appreciate the information on the pin time frand. I guess the very late rifles may have the cuts for the O3A3 handguards, but not the RA stamp?

I assume you mean 3,260,000. A rifle in that serial range would NOT have an M'03-A3 stock. And you are correct. The very late Remington M1903 rifles had M'03-A3 stocks.

Would the late 1903 Remingtons with the 03-A3 stocks have the RA stamp? SN 3355909?
