Got the bolt today. I'm guessing it is the 1896 style due to the flat part being shorter than the 1898 style. It looks to be in very good condition. I thought the seller tried to re-blue it, but I do see some light surface rust, so it might have a lot of the original bluing on it. I threw in a better photo of my No5 too. I bought it for $250 in June or July. It was missing a top hand guard, magazine, and sling swivel. Also had a lot of rust around the magazine area, but nothing that would make it dangerous to shoot. It took a while to clean it up, and to get the top hand guard (which doesn't fit correctly). Nice little rifle, but I'm not sure about the accuracy.  I have four more Enfields (2 No4's, a 1917 BSA No1MKIII* and a No1MKIII* Ishapore). Have a Long Branch on the way which I'm probably going to have to sell. I'm mainly into the old Russian and Finn rifles. Love the Springfields too--they're just a little more pricey. So, I'm lucky that I picked up the two I have at such good prices.
