Wrong FreeBSD version in uname

Hello,

I'm a bit confused.

I created a VM using 10.3 (amd64) install iso without installing 
sources. I then downloaded sources as follows:

root at c2:/usr/src # svn co https://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/10 .

I then created a custom kernel file and rebuilt and installed world and 
kernel.

I am currently seeing:

# uname -v
FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p2 #1 r299234M: Sun May  8 07:46:33 EDT 2016 
root at my.host.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL

I would expect to see:

FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE #0 r299234: Sun May 8 07:46:33 EDT 2016 
root at my.host.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL

I am absolutely certain that I downloaded "STABLE". Am I having a senior 
moment, or is this behavior not as expected?
