I also was told (by the appraiser) that the entire rifle is completely original down to the leather sling except for a 1942 bolt. Also, if I can find a matching parkerized 1932 SA bolt I can increase the value of the gun immensely. I'm at a loss as to where to find one which brought me here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I can post pics later when I figure out how
drader - post your rifles serial # and barrel maker & date (located just behind the front sight). Maybe we can help you with more specific info...1903 A3 were not made in 1932 so you got some bad info or you suffered a 2X Typo in your post.
