Does anyone know where I can buy the type of bolts used on A1s? I'm looking for the type that has a ridge/rim that goes along the top perimeter of the bolt head.

I think I answered my own question. Did a little searching and found this bolt type is called "indented hex head." I know my local hardware store does not carry this type of bolt, but found several internet suppliers.

I went to a junk yard that had a bunch of real old cars in there. Asked the guy for some and he must have spent an hour looking for me. He had a bunch of them in coffee cans and jars. I poured them out and got probably 50 of them. |

John at Midwest Military sells them. My attempt to find such bolts from various industrial sources only resulted in some that used a smaller head size than the originals. They had indented but smaller heads. _________________ Tim Juhl
