If you use an improper screwdriver, you will bugger the screws badly. If you raise the rear sight you should see the R, the buttplate or cubby door will have an R on the inside and the band spring has one also. . The follower and spring are also R marked.

The barrel date is a 3-43! Thank you so much for your input! I'll check those areas! Do you have any idea what the cartouches near the trigger guard stand for?
