1903A4 Bolt?

**JGaynor** · 09-10-2013 03:06 PM

Sounds like the guy got clipped himself - at least he has offered the bidder's a way out. Actually the bolt would be just fine for someone who is putting together a clone for the VSM's - once the price is dropped to about $75.00.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Definitely a fake. Seller seems honest enough.

Even with the disclaimers, the bolt still sold for $285!

There's not even a photo that shows the angle of the bolt. Might be an inch and a half long notch in the stock for the bolt to close??

Anyone care to offer an opinion on another?

**JGaynor** · 11-14-2013 12:41 AM

Poor fake. I am assuming both pics are of the same bolt - the different back ground color is throwing me off. The easiest way to spot fakes is by the shape of the handle.

Regards,
Jim

Original 03A4 bolts would not have an edge on top, they're curved. And if you look close on the second picture, it looks like there is a cutting line where as the first picture aswell shows different colours both on the bolt and the bolt handle. I assume it was cut off, reshaped and then welded to each other again. That would also explain why there are no markings below the bolt handle. Could be that it has been build even on a straight bolt handle, not a swept back one. Hard to tell by these pictures?

nope./ not even close. not an opion,..thats a fact

Thanks guys (even though it was bad news).
Well if one labled as a copy sold for $285 perhaps there is more than one person out there looking for a copy for a shooter/sniper build up.
If I do sell it it will be clearly noted as non original or correct.
