I can't say about the bolt, but there are plenty of knowledgeable people on this site who can tell at a glance whether the bolt is an actual A4 bolt or not.

Regarding the barrel...how long is it? Are the front sight milled cuts still present? If not, then it has either been cut or it is not a military barrel. It is possible if the the front sight cuts are present that the barrel was either polished or turned down and the barrel stampings are simply gone.

I have an actual A4 that some ninny sporterized back in the day. It was highly polished and blued...so much so that the barrel, still with the front sight cuts, no longer has any stampings on it.





As you can see, the barrel markings are gone...I believe this may well be the original barrel, but there is no way to know...


Here are some pics of the bolt, which knowledgeable people have told me is an original...although highly polished.
