Gustloff 98m bolt?

[moconfed]

Dug a rifle out of the safe that I acquired a couple years back. Originally a 1916 DWM Gew98 reworked w/98k sights, etc., but the bolt body is '1' marked on bottom of root and 07 on top (same as rifle) Balance of bolt parts -extractor, collar, shroud, safety, and CP- are numbered 46, down to firing pin which was originally 37, which was lined out and numbered 46 as well.

'1' is for Astrawerke, not Gustloff. They supplied a tons of parts (bolts, receivers, etc.) to Gustloff, but the 98m conversions were done in the 30's, and I don't know if Astrawerke was cranking out bolts at the time.

Post a photo of it. I can see straight bolts coming from them as a possibility, it's essentially a 98k bolt that isn't bent.

98m spare bolts

I know that Mauser Oberndorf made straight bolts that were marked as spares (S/42 coded).

Pics. Everything is Imperial marked, with the body being the exception.

I see- someone added a bent bolt to a 98m. Not too sure about that serial, but the bolt looks like an armorers bolt.
