Found a 1943 03A3 in a pawn shop

[labrat1469]

I did not make it to the gun show this time so I was bummed out and went to check out the local pawn shops. First one I walked into I find this in the rack




From what I have researched it appears to be mostly original. A few mis-matched parts on the bolt but still marked "R". Bolt is made of both blued and parkerized parts. I'm still researching and coming up with different results. A very nice find in a pawnshop. The leather sling is dated 1918 and stamped Lawrence L.S. Any help in pointing out which parts are original will be helpful. I'm hoping I did not buy a reproduction rifle.
