Sauer and Son--bolt on NATO Breda M1 details 003

This is a very high quality, cosmopolitan M1 Garand, and the bolt is a German Sauer and Son unit from Suhl (Thuringia), Germany, on a Breda receiver, and so on.

 

These were probably the best bolts ever produced for the Garand, and seem to have been the last. "Best" mainly means set up for used rifles and benefitting from latest technology. There isn't much to choose between the postwar specification bolts.

 

It is a stainless 1 turn in 12" barreled unit, in .308, a vastly more efficient and accurate round, far more similar to the original .276 Pedersen Center fire than was the .30 Model of 1906 with which this design fought in WW2 and Korea.
