Simple question really, but one that I've wondered about.
Seems most collectors are comfortable with an original WW2 Carbine Bolt of just about any manufacture being blued or dulite. But were ANY original WW2 M1 icon

Carbine bolts parkarized and issued as such? Thx!!

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.

In my readings I found all original bolts were dulite, or another form of dark finish [such as houghto-black, as mentioned in 363 of the CC newsletter]. Any lubrite [park] bolt was from an overhaul..
