Matched Receiver & Bolt Body – Standard Action – 1948 – Transition Model

Description

This is a matching receiver and bolt body pair from a 1948 standard rifle. Both pieces are marked with the serial number 78593. This is a “transition era” receiver with the cloverleaf tang found on the pre-war model combined with the smooth, and drilled, rear bridge of the later models.

Receiver – The original finish has wear on the front ring, on the left side of the rear bridge from a receiver sight, on the rails, recoil lug, and in the tang area. There is some surface rust/discoloration on the front ring and recoil lug.

Bolt – The bolt has bluing wear on the handle but no other notable metal damage.
