Two 1903 Bolts - But Different - Need Some Help
18/08/23 03:00 AM

I own two 1903's, one is all-original matching numbers proofed in 1929 with an Oigee Berlin Gnom 4x scope in Vienna mounts.

The other is a re-barrel with a 19xx serial number. I bought it re-barrelled so I have no idea of a proofing date. The bolt is not original to the receiver but is the one used for the re-barrel so the headspace is good.

The safety on the 'parts' rifle does not function, it's in the fire position and I can't move it to shoot the rifle nor can I disassemble it. The head of the cocking piece and the cocking piece itself do not look like the bolt on the good rifle.

In the pics the 'parts' bolt is on the left, the good bolt on the right.

There's no indexing marks on the head of the parts cocking piece, plus the cocking piece and even the bolt body are different.

Anybody able to shed some light on what bolt my parts rifle has?
