Japanese Sniper Bolt

[Troy101]

I've had this Japnese bolt for a while, it's either origianl sniper or somebody did a really good job of turning it down because there's no heat evidence or metal fatigue from bending, anybody know for sure?

Unfortunately yours appears to be a Bubba.

I have one of mine in front of me.

Originals are a bit longer and a bit less of an angle than yours.

Friend showed me a Swede bolt he turned down-not a mark on it.

I agree. My snipers all have longer and slightly less of a downturn. Dana

Heres one that came into the Dallas show this past weekend.

MikeP is correct, the original sniper bolts have about a 45 degree angle to them, and are a bit longer than the regular arisaka bolt.
