Thanks AJS. You have excellent original gear. Obvious correct dou. 42 / dou. bolt font. It’s dramatically different from the Gunboreds blessed dou. 42. Not even close.

Any chance you can get a very clear pic of the bolt root so i can post it over there? The “9” is the difference maker.

The distinction is so clear and obvious that if after a review of this thread one still believes that bolt is not humped then you’re wasting your time with them MG. It’s a wrap.

The metal has clearly been, at a minimum polished and touched up with new blueing in the area of the numbers. It has a very different patina from the rest of the bolt.

Have to call it as it is. If we don’t try to put a stop to it, what’s next? Mitchell’s mausers with polished bolts will be the golden standard of collecting?What the hell, I haven’t had an infraction in a while, so I joined MG85 and posted on GB about the bolt too. His post was a little more directat calling out the people blessing that rifle than mine was though.

Yes Ham. His 9 nails it. It's nothing like the 'big head' 9 on the bad one.
Also in your post #24, that first side shot of the bad bolt shows how soft or shallow the gutter on the bad bolt is. Comparing it to the known good ones posted by ajs and Bruce it is VERY apparent.
