Sniper bolt with a "S" proof

Post by chevmn56 »

Hello All I have a question about a sniper bolt for a MNone proff I can't find anything on is a "S" it is stamped on the bolt where the handle comes out and bends down. Is anyone familiar with this??

I could be off here...........
There used to be a guy that would take standard bolts and add to them and bend them down.
He was called "the bolt guy" or "Bolt Man"
I THINK he used to mark them underneath with a "S" (for "sniper")? Maybe a "B". Just don't remember now.
It was to distinguish his bolt as being "after market".
Joke was at the time, maybe it should have been a "BS" for "Boltman Sniper".

It was a long time ago and I'm not even sure if he is around any more.
So basically, anything he did was "after market" (or fake as some call it).
