Here's the bolts...Looks like a different type to me. But for what? Universal? Er Wot? I've seen these, just can't remember...

[browningautorifle]

Aparently, Universal started producing guns with military parts. In about 1968, they had changed the design to exclude most parts and had redesigned them so almost no parts were interchangeable. This bolt is one of those I think. A later pattern bolt. Sort of looks like, but isn't an M1 carbine bolt. Unless it's a Universal...

Once again, I think this is the case, I know there's a few around here will join in as soon as they catch this...

Here's a link to info on the changes that Universal made to their bolts. It's about 3/4 of the way down on the page. - Bob

I don't know, I think you can re-coop by selling it as a Universal bolt that it is. Universal parts are scarce.

Holy F**K That's a lot of bolts. What a pain that would be to beadblast and park those...searching for special manufacture...

Read the auction. Those are not finished bolts. They are 'partially machined' surplus bolt bodies. I think they might make passable trot line anchors at $2 a pop.
