Good afternoon everybody.

In your opinion why this M1 Garand
bolt has been modified this way ?

Thank you.

That's a spot weld that's been added...another of the European mods I'd guess...?

Hello browningautorifle

Correct. I asked a friend and he said it's a bolt modified in Germany. It a small cut is made into the receiver to accept that nutch. This is done in order to have parts of civilian firearms different from military ones.

One of our small mercies I guess. We didn't have to go through anything like that...yet...

It seems the job has been done in the opposite way: the notch should be welded on the receiver and not to the bolt so to prevent to use military bolts on civilian rifles.

Thank you again for your answer, browningautorifle.
