Swede M96 bolt: straight or bent?

Does anyone know if a M96 Swedish Mauser circa 1916 swould have a straight or bent bolt? Thanks

Check the sniper variations in the Sweden - Milsurp Knowledge Library … ;)

It should have a straight bolt, unless modified for sniper use.

The M38 carbine was manufactured with a bent bolt as well …

Should be straight unless converted. Does the bolt match the receiver, etc? If not it could be just a mismatched m96.

Thanks for the replies, yes bolt number matches everything else. Must have been a civilian modification.

Pics would be helpful to determine a number of other possibilities ... :thup:

Post them here, or if you want, send them to me at badger@milsurps.com and I'll post them for you... :)
