    The renumbering is typical of Sovieticon repairs. What is remarkable is that another Westinghouse bolt wound up with your rifle. Check all the parts; Westinghouse used half of the alphabet on their inspection marks but all the marks have the arrow. Check the receiver tang; swivels; sight leaf & base; magazine follower & magazine, etc.

    Would that look like any of these? Might be hard to see, but on the band it looks like an arrow with a letter by it. If you blow the barrel band picture up you can see it much better, I think it is an arrow.
