I'd say not ... but open to correction. The "downturned" bolt handle doesn't look right to me. But I'm far from a M1903A4 specialist. I avoid them!Last edited by Rick the Librarian; 12-08-2013, 02:05."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise.

It could be. It will be interesting to hear from others.

I'm leaning toward real. If not it's a darn good forgery.

I've noticed that on the "forgeries" the grinding is never a perfect "U" shape next to the knob. This "U" looks perfect to me, that's all I remember about it.Last edited by Tom; 12-09-2013, 09:04.Comment

I'm not an expert, but I have two confirmed A4 bolts. Yours looks just like mine. The grinding patterns and curvature match what I have.Comment

Thanks guys. I've looked at tons of pics and no two bolts look exactly alike. I assume they were a hand made item, so there would be some differences?Comment
