We're a little unclear on the the others. Yes, they're bolts. Here they are in profile. Keep workin' it. You're one for three. Well, except for Pogue. He's two for three...

Dragunov's, on the other hand... from what I've seen they come in even more infrequently and at higher prices. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70747 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70747 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:11:17 -0600 Nice WAG, Eagle1 - not correct, but a good shot. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70745 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70745 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:57:34 -0600 Here's a WAG about the right bolt, since it rotates, how about a straight pull Mannlicher or Swiss K31? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70739 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70739 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:43:05 -0600 The upper one appears to be an AK bolt, lower left an AR bolt. Don't know about the one on the right. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70737 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70737 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:35:48 -0600 Ah - nope, don't have a PSL. *Want* one. Want a Dragunov, for that matter. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70732 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70732 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:28:53 -0600 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. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70731 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70731 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:22:26 -0600 Only today? Of course now that it gets technical I'm just here for the free beer and bad jokes... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70729 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70729 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 12:03:59 -0600 Gad, I'm starting to feel insecure about the readership levels today... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70728 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/03/well_we_had_som.html#comment-70728 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:55:11 -0600
