For Commission 88 rifles, both Gewehr and Karabiner 88 and Gewehr 91. This is for the bolt head ONLY, there will NOT be an extractor or ejector included.

These are being made from quality US made alloy steel and are heat treated. I am making them ever so slightly large based on samples so as to account for many of the worn rifles. Fitting will ABSOLUTELY be required by a KNOWLEDGEABLE gunsmith.

Blued - a modern hot salt blue

Polished - Lightly polished to remove discoloration from heat treat

Unfinished - tumbled to remove oxide from heat treat, a grey color with a few dark speckles

Customer Feedback:

"Nathaniel, received the two 1888 commission rifle bolt heads I ordered from you. I have a Danzig 1891 rifle and couldn't wait the see how they fit. Fit beautifully and great job machining them. Have a action and tried them in a stripped bolt to check the fit. Shouldn't have bothered. Amazes me how one could make parts for a rifle that's 130 years old and have them fit so well. "

"The bolt heads arrived just fine, they're masterfully machined and the bare/heat-treated finish matches my in-the-white/patina'd bolt body nicely."

"This bolt head is worth every penny the fit and finish was perfect for installation in two Turkish 88 Mausers. The additional safety of having modern steel on critical area of an old rifle is priceless."
