Have bought a 1919 MK1. Barrel is 1-19 and bright. Stock seems to match with proper cart. Bolt seems to be a replacement and is marked as above. I have searched the IN and not found and thing that helps. Would love to find the bolt is original but I have doubts. All marks are on the handle root top and bottom, and thanks in advance.
We have a forum for finding original parts for rifles... By the way, we'd love to see it. Got pics?
Where are the specific markings located? Top of bolt handle? Bottom? Safety lug? Is the handle straight or slightly swept?
there is a Remington 1944 bolt marked 8620 on top handle
Bolt marked 620 on top of handle root, A and SA on bottom of root, swept, no other marks found but have not taken apart yet.
This looks like it, the explanatory notes state SA also marked on bottom. It should also have a square safety lug.Quote:

OP, take a look here: http://www.vishooter.net/slc14_2008.html
That may be it. I notice that despite what I was told, the Pedersen parts seem to be in the gun. The sear has the second part, the cutoff spindle is spring loaded and slotted. The cutoff and trigger I have not yet de4termined but will work on them also. Otherwise an untouched, good condition rifle. As for the bolt, there is no evidence of the missing "8" before the 620 and that is stamped in individual fashion.
That is quite a bonus having MkI parts still intact. I would use link above, and search a proper year bolt, both here and auction sites.
You've been asked for pictures once, don't make us come to your house!
Seems I am having problems with pics, each time i designate them I find them rejected. Still trying.
Send them to me and I'll post them...see PM.
Here's the pics for you all to look at from jdmcomp...
per request, used basic loader to get pics online, regular loader would not accept them for some reason, apology for the quality, showing unmolested as found rifle.
In addition to the port milled into the receiver, 4 parts were modified/changed for the use of the Pedersen device. You can see from these pics that 3 of them are present and I would think that the trigger is also original. I have not removed the stock yet to see.Attachment 80289Attachment 80290
As you can see the sear has the center part indicating the two part sear, and the bolt release has the cut for attaching the device as well as the spring loaded slotted pin. This is turning out to be quite a find.
Your bolt was made at Springfield Armory in 1944. The bolt was made as a spare replacement for use in overhaul. The marking atop the handle is actually a poorly-stamped "8620".
