The serial # of the rifle could narrow down the choices.

John Beard has a bolt chart, posted on ViShooter's M1903 website, that will help you answer your question. As stated above, the s/n is needed for the answer but there are several possibilities. http://www.vishooter.net/slc6_2008.html Be sure to look at the explanatory notes as well.

Thank John Beard; he did the research and ViShooter for hosting the site. Bear in mind the J5 bolts were in production during the transition between the straight & curved handle bolts. You may want to contact John Beard to see which J5 bolt you need. Good luck finding your bolt!
