Yes, the numbers are matching on the rifle to the bolt. That is one thing I made sure of before he purchased it. The rifle looks outstanding. I'll ask the Smith about checking the headspace, they wanted something like $70 for it if I recall which was silly.

I'll just keep my eyes peeled for one, I know not many people are checking headspace on Mosin's because they are inexpensive rifles.

He just wanted the rifle to "keep up" with his brother-in-law.
