Strange M14 bolt No roller

[machman]

I recently acquired a USGI bolt with no roller. Possibly a T47 bolt?
Anyone have any info on it? It’s marked S-A.

/l\ Possibly. Different’s book mentions the T47 prototypew which did not have a bolt roller and performed worse in dust and cold weather tests than both the T44 and the TT48, and was dropped from consideration in 1953

In the end I screwed up. It was an M1 bolt that I forgot I acquired. Mystery solved
