Places like Federal Firearms, Brownells, etc sold alot of them for 03's and Mausers especially.

That explains a lot. I knew it wasn't hand engraved as there are casting marks on the inside, but I couldn't figure out how it was attached. Integrated in the trigger guard answers the question.

Is that the military trigger, or did they put an aftermarket commercial adj unit in there?

The bolt has a number 3 stamped in the top. Did they bend the handle or was it replaced?
The trigger is original, all parts stamped with an "R". Interestingly the lower part of the receiver has the original parkerization. I'm not sure why they didn't blue the entire thing. I would have thought they would have dipped the entire part.
I see I can still get adjustable aftermarket triggers. What is the general opinion of them? Is there a preferred model?
Thanks,
