Pictured are an early bolt without the extra hole on the bottom and a more common bolt with the extra hole on
the bottom. It is believed this hole was added to allow water to drain from the firing pin chamber.
This is a Springfield Bolt D28287-12SA in the S04<> heat lot. These bolts used half round firing
pins and blued extrractors, ejectors and springs.
