R&D 103............Looking for information

So it probably is a variant or prototype of some kind of model 19-33 NRA.

I definitely think that is correct.
The gun is down at my local shop and I talked to the engineer today.
He stated he started the R&D numbering so I'm hopeful he may know a bit about the bolt design.
The gun is being left there until he stops by to examine it.

He did stop by and couldn't elaborate on the bolt.
Said he did work on the stock design.
A local smith was there and thought it may have been made that way for rapid recocking on a round that didn't initially fire. Tried the trigger said not quite as good as a winchester but very nice.
