Hello, I've recently inherited several rifles from my Grandfather (see the 1903A3 thread here). I am new to this collecting thing and am wondering as to the condition of this K98icon. I know the bolt isn't supposed to be white....is re-blueing it something a qualified gunsmith could accomplish? And, eventually I might want to replace the stock.

Also, could someone educate me on what people are talking about with the "matching serial numbers"? The barrel and receiver appear to match, though the bolt components don't?








Thanks in advance! I can post more photos if needed.
