All,

I am a big, huge dufus. There was some doubt (including by myself) as the the originality of the bolt to the rifle, partly based on a two-digit number that I had cited in a previous post. Upon further inspection, they all match, the rifle's serial number is electro-penned on the arm of the bolt knob. The style of the electro-penning is identical to the type on the rifle itself. The original two-digit number is a 49 and it's location is on the cocking piece.

Should I take this to mean the bolt truly is original and should require no special fitting? Also, purely out of curiosity (I AM keeping the rifle, I don't want to replace this one ever) what would a conservative estimate of value be?
