Has anyone seen a short bolt bent down and back as seen in the attached?
The gun was found in Grandma's house after she passed away, and no one knows where it came from. I've researched enough to believe it is a sporterized 91/30 (thanks in part to this board), and it was probably owned by an uncle who was an active hunter.
I thought the curved bolt might be a common mod for sporterized models, since it is very well done and it works very well, but I've found no references to or photos of a bent/curved short bolt on the internet ... maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Any thoughts?
