Looking for matched K98 bolts

Let's see, in order to be C & R eligible the firearm has to be as it left the factory when it was produced. With a mismatched bolt it doesn't meet that criteria.

I don't think the law is quite that "tight", and "original configuration" has levels of interpretation. Generally speaking, "period correct" is enough to meet the requirement if other factors do also.

Many, if not most firearms do not have the serial number, or a portion of it repeated on certain parts. There are, for example essentially NO US milsurps that have parts numbered to "match" the serial number.

I don't think a period correct replacement part disqualifies a gun from C&R status in the eyes of the law though I am no expert on the matter's finer points, and you'll get a better answer from someone who deals with C&R guns.
