    Question Remington bolt marking

    I have a Remington bolt with an 8 marked on the top of the bolt handle. Would this be correct for a Remington 1903 in the ser.# range of 3251xxx?.

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Doesn't sound like it. Are there any markings on the bottom of the bolt handle?

    Stamped on the bottom is an R, on the top an 8. The bolt is parked. I don't see any other markings.

    No. Your Remington bolt with an "8" atop the handle is for a later rifle.
