Yes, Ex-sniper's have all parts removed.
If you find or make a bent bolt, and have the original scope mount holes re-drilled for the original scope; then you can restore the Ex-sniper.
Be careful in choosing an Ex-sniper, many were made Ex-snipers because they're bore's were shot out and not good enough to stay Sniper rifles, so the scope's were removed, and made into regular infantry rifles.
There are others that were just made into Ex-snipers for whatever reason. So there are some in better condition.
Some people might advise to go buy a PU replica sniper in Very good condition, they will likely be alright shooters, but to restore an original it way better (even if refurbed) than reproductions.
I have an Ex-sniper I'm working on at the moment, almost complete. If you would like any more information on these rifles, PM me. Good luck with your build if you decide to go with a restore.
