Which process was used, hook or broach?
Instead of starting a new thread, I'll ask here.
Other than the 1917...In regards to the A3 2 groove barrels only made during WW2 for the A3's? The 03's were only 5 groove?

2 groove barrels were also made as replacement barrels for the M1917 Enfield. The1903 replacement barrels were 4 groove I believe. I'm not sure of the rifling method.

From memory, (dangerous).
'03 barrels were 4 groove until WW11, then SA and Remington went to 2 groove. The only 5 groove were on original '17s.
I'll bet rifling type is stated in Brophy or Hatcher, but I am away from them now.

Springfield made only 4-groove barrels; Remington and (in very small quantities) Smith-Corona made 2-groove barrels. No military rifle manufacturer made 5-groove barrels in WWII.

approximately 4.2 million Remington's in a two year stretch is not a small quantity to me.

Your math is a little off.
Remington started at S/N 3,000,000 and 100,000 of those numbers were set aside for Smith-Corona.
