Well, we had some good tries.

And we do seem to know our M-16/M-4/AR-15 bolts.

We're a little unclear on the the others.

Yes, they're bolts.

Here they are in profile.

C'mon, you're getting closer!


Keep workin' it. You're one for three. Well, except for Pogue. He's two for three...

Gad, I'm starting to feel insecure about the readership levels today...

Only today? Of course now that it gets technical I'm just here for the free beer and bad jokes...

Based on your response to my comment yesterday let me clarify: the uppermost one is the bolt from your Russian sniper rifle, a 7.62x54R beast that's the Romanian version of the Soviet Dragunov.

Ah - nope, don't have a PSL. *Want* one. Want a Dragunov, for that matter.

The upper one appears to be an AK bolt, lower left an AR bolt. Don't know about the one on the right.

Here's a WAG about the right bolt, since it rotates, how about a straight pull Mannlicher or Swiss K31?

Nice WAG, Eagle1 - not correct, but a good shot.

PSL's you can get, although they seem to come in in spurts. Dragunov's, on the other hand... from what I've seen they come in even more infrequently and at higher prices.
