    Rare/Old 1903 bolt code S-30. 1906-1908??

    I have a old 1903 bolt stamped S-30 on the bottom of the safety lug. John Beardicon's chart says its a Springfield Armory Mid 1906-Mid 1908 production vintage bolt. Mine is pakerized and came with a batch of WW2 parts. Any idea of the value? It looks unused except for two arsenal looking punch marks on the lower left front locking lug and the parkerizing job.
    Thanks in advance, Peter "pan957@hotmail.com"

    Sounds like it went through an arsenal rebuild.

    Your bolt is worth in the $10-$30 range.

    Hope this helps. Happy Holidays!
