A local shop has a really nice No. 4 (T) that I'm interested in. Overall, it's a nice, complete sniper set up with a No. 32 Mk III scope & mount, canvas covered metal scope case (not the hinged clamshell type), sling, and transit case, all in excellent condition.

The rifle itself is in exception condition, with beautiful wood, all proper markings and finish, but there is one big problem. It appears someone replaced the original bolt with a modified bolt. It's fully polished with a handle that looks re-worked.

I've bought a lot of guns from this shop and I think the owner will work with me on the price. He doesn't have a firm number, but knows that no-excuses complete rigs sell regularly for upwards of $5K. I'm thinking quite bit south of that given the bolt issue, which is really a shame because otherwise this rifle is pretty close to being the top of heap.

Here are a few shots of the bolt. Thoughts on how much of a value hit this makes?
