    mauser bolts-which one

    I need a mauser bolt for the 270 project. One of the sources I have checked has these to offer. One good basic style bolt. The other is a butter knife shape
    Thoughts on each? Cost the same so irrelevant. Only a basic mauser parker hale so nothing flash really needed

    Greetings Csmiffy,
    If you are going to fit a scope I would go for the one with the knob. The spoon job will need to be replaced to fit a low scope.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    Are you able to try them in your action including a locking lug contact check?

    The one with the round knob is what I would go for. Will need to notch receiver so bolt closes, need to check lug contact and headspace before using.

    @grandpamac that's a bit of a bugger. The supplier was instructed that it will be on a scoped rifle and its intended purpose. He picked the most suitable @zimmer nope-not local. But this will be going to the gunsmith for the barrel change/headspace. If it needs a little lapping then so be it. It would be nice to get some truing etc done but that just isn't in the budget.
    I doubt there is someone in CHCH with half a dozen bolts but it could be worth the ask.
    It would've been heaps easier if one of them had a better safety already modified for scope use.

    @garyp it is a parker hale safari model. Wouldn't the receiver already be done?
    I do get it though-definitely get it done. All part of the bolt fitting part. I can do minor stuff but not barrel swaps/head spacing or bolt bending lol. Minor non drastic fitting is well within my grasp.
