The bolt on the left is real. And the "guts" are real (Remington) too!

Merry Christmas, Pete!

I concur. The one on the left is the real deal. It is equipped with an '03 firing pin but then the early A4's dipicted in TM 9-270 had '03 firing pins as well.

The stripped bolt on the red background is bogus.

Regards and merry christmas to all!

I didn't bother looKing at the auction particulars earlier but the real bolt comes with a standard 3day inspection period. The bogus bolt which IMO may not even function in a scoped rifle, is sold "AS-IS no refunds" . It's a moot point now since someone has already bought the cheesy one but it sure pays to read the fine print.

Jim
