I have an M1903 Remington Modified that was a Raritan Arsenal rebuild with a scant stock. The receiver is in the Dec. 1942 to Jan. 1943 range.
The bolt has a "C2" stamped under the safety lug. The bolt handle goes straight down. According to charts I've seen it puts the date of the bolt around 1911-1912, Springfield make.
Is it safe to shoot this rifle with this bolt? I've read forums that say yes and no. My thought is that it was the receiver that is the dangerous part, not the bolt.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
