Hi again Garand. Because when I was going to rebuild the 03A3 thst I posted pics of I realized I was going to end up spending a fair amount of money. So I did the best I could at trying to see how the 03A3's were finished in their original form. This is what I came up with. The receiver and barrel including front sight mount and blade are parked, the rest of it is blued. But as I mentioned earlier, one, I chose to polish the bolt for my own liking, two it will not show the wear of a blued bolt as it gets used.
