Hello folks,
Can someone help with an identification of the attached rifle bolt - found in southern Poland, forest, about 5 cms deep.
Many thanks

Pictures from other angles showing the whole bolt body and some basic dimensions would probably help.
My initial thought was that it was a M95 straight pull but on second look I don’t think it is.
I think it is a bolt from a Mannlicher Model 1886.
Cheers,
Emile
It is from a Steyr Model 1886. BILL

Also in memory of my mother Jane Kidd Grist Feb. 22, 1920-- September 27, 2009... WWll War bride May 1942...
To my mind the bolt is from a Mannlicher rifle Model of 1886, produced by Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft (Austrian arms-manufacturing company ŒWG), later known as the Steyr Arms Factory.
Thank you to all repliers - I'm heading out soon to take a good look around the area, so I now know roughly what to look for! Cheers!
Maybe for M-88 Steyr... look at the bottom if is for 8mm mannlincher or Werndl...
