    Winchester 1917 Bolt markings

    I have a Winchester 1917 s/n 475324 with barrel Date 10-18. However there is a number stamped on the bolt root # 43301.
    Could someone tell me why the bolt is stamped with a number? BTW it is a Winchester bolt. Thanks in advance.

    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.

    likely a lend lease gun, other countries stamped the serial on the bolt, common for bolts to get mixed up during reimport back to the USAicon
