Remington 03 bolt questions

[BEAR]

Two questions for you experts.

1. Did Remington make straight handled bolts for their M1903s AND if they did, when did they transition to bent handled bolts?

2. Did Remington blue or parkerize their 03 bolts?

(ok, technically that's 3 questions)

No straight handle Remington bolts. All ORIGINAL Remington 03 and a3 bolts were blued ( AFAIK )

Thanks for the answer... here and on Jouster also.

If the rifle had a Factory through repair then the bolt and metal parts could be parkerized.
