New to the 03 arena with 1 st purchase

[curraheecarl]

Gentlemen,

Just purchased my first 03a3 at a local gun shop in Central Fla. for $625..I am new to this arena...here go the details..the receiver is marked Remington 03a3 s/n 407765X, barrel R.A. 12-43. Stock is straight with faint R.A. cartouche on left side below cutoff. Arsenal rebuild stamp RIA EB in square box. The bolt has a black finish closely matching the receiver. the only marks I could find are either an "R" or an "H" (stamping may not be complete) next to a "O" on the top of the blot handle, the underneath has a punch mark with either an "8" in its side or maybe the ordinance bomb. the trigger guard is stamped with no markings..everything appears Remington with the exception of the front sling swivel, bolt sleeve (it's marked B.P.) and maybe the triggerguard.

Can anyone i.d. the bolt, and advise if the barrel is correct for the receiver?
also, what trigger guard is correct and did Remington stamp them?

Thanks in advance to all you knowledgable collectors.....Curraheecarl in Fla
