Yes, it’s the wrong bolt for what the rifle was originally when it belonged to the Nazis. However, it’s totally original and correct to how it left the Russian factory after they captured it. I’ll keep my Russian captured K98’s as Russian captured examples, and find separate original and uncaptured Nazi examples to satisfy that itch. I’m still learning and interested to know where all these parts came from originally though. I appreciate everyone‘s knowledge and help with that


    Refreshing to hear that.
    I have a particular interest in Norwegianicon capture K98kicon's which have several decades of use and changes post WW2 and its all part of their continuous history as well.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
