1944 GRI No.1 MKIII

[browningautorifle]

I took it to a gunsmith who said a "clip" or some piece broke off the bolt

Maybe you could show us a pic and we can help a bit more...to see what's actually at fault.

Right now all I have is my smart phone. So no pictures right now. I will try to figure out pics in a bit. I see no real difference between the two bolts externally. When I pull the old bolt part back(and it pulls the firing pin back) and release it quickly it doesn't snap forward like the replacement bolt does. Could it need a new spring? I no almost nothing about MKIII's.
