Hello all. So, I have an otherwise matching KAR98AZ that is beautiful except the bolt, and magazine floorplate/follower do not match. The bolt is from a Kar98kicon and so I wonder if it was rebuilt? Do not bare a 1920 stamp. Perhaps the bolt was stuck in there by an importer? But then what about the floor plate?

Next thought on this is to take a Gew98 bolt and turn it down like an original (I've got an example to work off) and then have the bolt handle cut and knurled... and not necessarily in that order...

Or, as it sits now, is it correct as a WWII rebuild?
