semi-matching polish M44

[kcjr1125]

Okay so I saw an ad on Facebook for a all matching polish m 44 Mosin for 225 i jumped right on it and when I met the guy it turns out to be semi all matching everything except the bolt is matching so I point it out to the guy and he gives me $25 back of the 225 I still consider it a good deal but it is bugging the heck out of me. The stock, butt plate, receiver, magazine plate, and everything else matches except the damn bolt. In the world of Mosin Nagant is this considered a mix match or all matching or is there any gray area here. And I guess not really important but kind of want to know that I get a good deal on it

I have a Russian all matching m44 as well as a Hungarian all matching m44 but this polish one is kind of bugging me is there a site that I can go to where I can seek out the owner of my polish bolt I have read of stories of people doing this but I don't know if this is on a specific site or not if one does not exist I think it would be a cool idea what do you guys think?

I wouldn't worry about it too much, Mosin's rarely have a problem with mismatched bolts. If you're concerned about it, pick up a set of headspace gauges to test it out from this seller on ebay. He's a great guy who stands behind his product and ships fast. I have a set of his .303 British gauges that are excellent.

You can try to find your original bolt, but it's going to be one in millions and millions of a chance. It's been tried before but I don't think it's really worth the effort.

Moved to the other post, this is a dupe post.
