Perhaps the label is incorrect.

 

That's what I have been thinking but since I am no expert so I just want to ask. I don't recall the transaction (bought in 2013) details at all.

 

Looks like a plausible bolt body for a wing-safety, single-shot 14nn series match rifle.
How many extractor slots in the boltface, and does the nose of the bolt carry a number?
At the risk of asking the obvious, does it fit your existing 1413?

 

The Anschutz part number for the "bolt body" for the 14xx series rifles is 1404-5 in the 14xx series manuals with the exception of those for 1965 and 1971. In these manuals the bolt body is part 1404-5L. It's not clear why these manuals include the letter "L". In the 1966 manual it is 1404-5 as it is for the last (non-16xx series) manual in 1975.

The earliest manuals available are for what Anschutz says is "Approx. 1955" and "Approx. 1963" (the former apparently available only in French). These don't have the familiar parts numbers. They have part numbers beginning with 1 (the barrel) through 89 (in the English 1963 manual, a wood screw for the handrest slide). Other parts have numbers but are not related to the question at hand. The bolt body has the number 6 in both the oldest manuals.

If the unidentified part number the OP has is correct, it doesn't look like it's from a 14xx series rifle, unless at some point Anschutz identified the single extractor bolt as 1405-5, which seems out of numerical order. It remains likely that it was incorrectly labeled.

 

Thank you, Sandy22 and Penage Guy.

The bolt in question has two extractors just like my own 1413's.

The numbers on the bolt face are 114 and 700 for the bolt in question and 700, respectively.

Pictures attached.

No, I haven't tried to assemble the bolt in question and insert it into the rifle but I will. But like I said in the OP it is identical in features to the one in my 1413 so I expect it to fit OK.

If there isn't any 15xx series part numbers I think I am comfortable to conclude that it is an error in the label.

Thanks.

 

The three digits on the bolt face match the last three digits of the serial number of the rifle that the bolt came with.

 

Aaah, Thanks! Again, I learn something. Yes, the three digits 700 on the bolt face matches the last three digits of my serial number of my 1413.

So while the other bolt 114 may fit my 1413 physically (slide, cocking, firing, etc.), the head space, amongst other critical dimensions may be different enough that it should not be used unless it is correctly fitted by a gunsmith? What other critical dimensions must be checked in order for the spare bolt to be used safely?

 

You don't need a gunsmith to measure the headspace; all you need here are graduated gauges and a small screwdriver to remove the extractors.

I have tried a few bolts in my 1913, mostly for interest but also when I forgot mine at a match: measurements varied between under 0.040in and 0.046in.

 

The revision numbers may not necessarily be a design revision, but maybe a vendor revision? Just for example the striker spring in a match 54 style bolt has gone from 1807-15 to 15/1 and now 15/2 (because I just ordered one from ANA). Has there been an actual design change like spring weight or numbers of coils? Or perhaps after 40 years different vendors have supplied the springs?

Part numbers / designs changed quite a bit through the years for M1 Garands, but they all work up and down the date range of use, could be similar here and the -4 and -5 revisions could be completely interchangeable.
