Needing a replacement bolt for the 1898 Krag

[Coconino]

Cracked my bolt recently and need to find a replacement. I have access to the headspace gauges to check the installation. I see them on various sites but wonder about whether the replacement has incipient cracks. Anyone here with experience in getting a replacement Krag bolt?

There was a thread recently with a link to buy Krag bolts that are reportedly unused and arsenal fresh. I'd do a search for Krag bolts and you should find the thread with the link.

I bought one from the ebay seller for $55.00. They're new/old (unused) stock.

Thanks, I somehow missed the ebay listing. Ordered one, will let everyone know how it works.

I got the bolt and it fits fine. For those that have used replacement bolts, is checking with a field gauge sufficient or do I need to get the go/nogo gauges as well?

[Battis]

Based on info that I got here, and other forums, I used a Field gauge.
