I don't like the looks of this!

I sent a 'note' to the Gunshop selling this model 1898 bolt on eBay.

We'll see how ethical they are.

It sure appears to me, that it has a crack developing behind the locking-lug.

Craig at "Lock - Stock and Barrel" politely responded, by email, to my message.

He admitted that they missed the flaw and are cancelling the bolt Listing.

He thanked me for having a "good eye" and taking time to give them a heads-up on the bolt.

(I checked eBay, later, and the listing was ENDED. Kudos to the vendor).
