I can't check my copy of Senich's WWII & Korea book as Paul has it.īut, whilst Poyer publishes the NM spec, none of these books actually publishes a copy of "the spec". Poyer specifically mentions that bolts were polished and then blued to eliminate glare. He also mentions that both blued and polished bolts are found and ,post WWII, unnumbered parkerized bolts were also used. Yes, you are right the NM rifles were left polished.īut in Canford's book he mentions that M1903A1 specs called for the bolt to be blued and that the blue had a unique "watery" appearance (possibly similar to that noted on the scope above? Not dark, but a "thin" silvery blue?). Maybe if someone else has more information they can help out. When I did my rifle I had the bolt polished and left it that way. If memory serves me correctly the bolts where left polished.
