I recently bought one that is stock and reciever matching, but the parts that make up the bolt are all 'electro-penciled'. Does this mean that the bolt is most likely not matching to the stock and reciever, or was it just not properly stamped?

If I understand correctly, it means they forced matched the numbers, making ll the numbers match, when originally they didn't.

Look for a tiny X on the side of your receiver, also if the Swastikas are peened off.
I'm thinking you got a Russian capture.
What the Russians did to the K98s is unforgivable.
They took them all apart, put all the parts into type segregated piles and reassembled them later on.
It's likely that you got a matching receiver and barrel, unless either one was damaged beyond repair and perhaps the stock unless it was force matched like the rest of it. Originally the stock had markings, I can barely make out an Eagle clutching something on my stock along with some other markings but other than that they pretty much removed all the markings and restained the wood.
So on Russian captured Mausers, none match.

There is indeed an X on my rifle, but the swastikas are not peened, the eagles are intact, and all the Weimers are in good condition.
The ONLY thing that is iffy is the bolt, everything else is matching and in fantastic condition. Reciever made in 1939, code number 42, has all the factory approval marks, etc.

So what's wrong with the bolt other than it not matching?

I dunno if theres anything WRONG with it, I just want to know wether 'electro-penciling' means the bolt is 100% non-matching, or they just like... rushed the production of it and didn't bother legitly stamping it.
I'll try taking pictures as soon as I make my camera un-blurry.

I don't think the Germans ever stamped their bolts to match with the rifle although they were matched.
The extractor might have had a serial on it but mine looks like it's been ground down on.
German rifles and other firearms were built around precision, it was their downfall in the winter.
Until they started using a different oil.
The electro penciling was done by the Russians when they were reassembled in working order.

I know the sweeds stamped the last 2 digets of the serial numper on there parts but the "electro-pencle" was uncommon for a swedish mauser.
