[QUOTE="cowadle, post: 699349, member: 7203"] if you wish you can put it back together correct for the period and maybe increase its value a little as a collector rifle not a shooter. if this is what you wish to do you will have to get the bolt that is blued and does not have the swept back handle. it still would have no serial numbers and would have a proof mark of the manufacturer. you can find on line with a little research many resources of information on what manufacturer would have used what bolt for the time. with a little effort you might be able to with little cost restore it to a correct status and increase its value as a collector grade rifle. the finish and condition of the rifle do matter and so does the stock and all of the rest of the hardware. it can be a fun and learning time putting one of these back together and many find it very rewarding. the guys on the cmp are a valuable resource .
