New to me 03a3, original?

New to me 03a3 that I think may be original. Your thoughts would be apprecated. Photos here:

I've taken it down and as far as I can see it's 100% Remington with the reciever and barrel parkerized, most everything else is blue. Bore is perfect and extreemly bright. It does have the OG stamp, but I've read that some as new rifles have the OG marking. Oh, it came with the sling too.

Barrel is dated 12/43 and reciever dates to 1/44.

Is it safe to shoot, and should I?
Thanks,
Bob
