Especially since it doesn't look like a real thing. That's not an 03A3 bolt. A3 bolts have a heavy undercut behind the locking lugs and around the safety lug. Also, the "R" font is wrong on the bolt root and the extractor. Also, the bolt lug is cut for a bolt hold open. If anything it's an early 1903 Remington bolt. I may be wrong, but I don't think so. If anyone thinks so please correct me.
And it does not look as good as the one I made!
I never saw a serif "R" on a Remington bolt. I don't see a punch mark under the bolt handle either.
It would probably be a good idea to post it on CMP. I'm sure John Beard or Rick the Librarian would
be able to figure it out.
It's pushing $700 now! Maybe Remington used old 1903 bolts for A4's, but not that I'm aware of. I certainly wouldn't take the risk of buying it.
Sold for $790.00.
