    NPM Bolt number

    Have NPM 4,157,097 with Trigger housing marked N9, Slide is rear beveled, round cut box marked N9 also.
    Looking for a NPM flat bolt to replace the RMC bolt that came in it.
    Any idea what number range could be considered correct?
    NPM and this numbering style is a new animal to me.

    Thx,
    Charlie-painter777

    Any chance RMC sent bolts to NPM?

    Mikey,
    The N9 housing I have only shows type III hammer strikes.
    The current hammer isn't a NPM, don't recall which maker it is now.
    In fact all the internals are mixed makers.
    Maybe just me.... but I like having the same maker parts in the housing along with bolt and slide.
    The rest like rear sight and band I live with.
    Would have to look at it and my notes when I get back home tonight.

    I tried finding more out about this one from the seller. He had said his Father in law had bought it in the early to mid 60's.
    Was trying to find out if it was a possible DCM or NRA gun before I messed with it.
    He can't recall and the Father in law has passed.

    Cheers,
    Charlie

    Charlie,

    Try Nick Dailey, I got a pristine one from him (Blued) about a month and a half ago.
