    42 Tula ex-sniper

    Found one amongst 80 rifles that is in VG shape,reburbed with replacement stock etc.The bolt shows signs of being altered back to the straight infantry style from previous bent sniper profile. The thing is when it is in battery it is tight and normal but when out of battery rattles like the parts are loose? Would like to salvage the gun but wondering about a fix or if a replacement bolt would be in order?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    If its the bolt that rattles in its slot of the receiver that is very common to Mosin Nagants you have no issue. Some " rattle " more then others but as long as it tightens up in battery your good to go.
