    I saw the bolt head, but it didn't help with the sizing. Not the dirty big black magazine though ;)

    Do I win a prize?

    It is a chunky bolt head, remind me not to nominate you for search training! Prize? Maybe a cabby with some rifles when you get back from your sandpit break?

    Lightly used M03 barrel screw cut, bolt head and magazine. Not sure what trade is but new retail is about £1600 according to the lad who bought it! I'm only handling the transfer as his local dealer! He still has to pay me a fee for that!

    Customer came to collect today

    eastenders Steve as he is called came over this morning to collect his new bits, being a good bloke dropped me off a pair of inert loaded roads for show, a 7mm08 which is what he had and the 7x64 which is what the Mauser M03 is dressed in usually, the two roonds are the ballistic tipped ones between the .308 ball with hole in case and the 3 inch .577;
