Crossed flags on the bolt handle question

[jmoore]

Could be the previous owner removed the sling swivels to use the rifle to hunt with. Apparently he never got around to go hunting as the bolt face shows no evidence of firing. Maybe never got around to go. Ray

As a still hunter (stalker) I quickly grew to hate slings and swivels both! They hang up on things, move, get in the way, or make noise. Generally just put a loop sling in a pocket and either remove or lash up the swivels themselves.

Wouldn't sell a rifle that's supposed to have 'em w/o the swivels in their proper place, though! How rude.
