Good afternoon guys, I am getting involved with restoring my '03 and was surprised to find that I have an A3 Remington bolt in my SA 969XXX rifle. I believe the rifle was made in August 1918 and according to posts on this site, the correct bolt would have been a J5 with straight bolt configuration. The swept bolt was put into production in November 1918.
Do you experts agree with this guess? Also, can anyone post a photo of the differences between the swept and straight bolt pattern?
As always I appreciate the help and knowledge you are willing to share.
