So, an aesthetics question.
The bolt appears incorrect…looks like an 1896 handle to me. It fits the appearance of the rifle well. Also, the headless cocking pieces look cool but I know they were originally used on a lower serial number range of the rifles and carbines. What says the group:
A) keep the present bolt, it’s part of the rifle now and looks good;
B) replace with correct bolt with headless cocking piece;
C) replace with correct bolt with normal cocking piece?
