You might want to be a bit more specific regarding the model of Mauser you need a bolt for.

All that is on the gun is mauser-bauer fraser mich. 7mm-rem mag, s/n9498L and it is a left handed bolt.[?][|)]
Bauer was a firearms manufacturer, in business from early 70's mid 80's, according to the Blue Book. They don't list any rifles either manufactured or imported by Bauer. If the rifle doesn't have a country of origin marking, it was made here in the U.S.
You might try to locate some of the older Gun Digests from that time frame. In their catalog and new production firearms sections, they sometime note manufacturers of limited production guns. No telling who could have made a left handed Mauser for Bauer, any other way.
The Mauser 2000 and 3000 were originally designed by an engineer at Heym which were released as the SR10 and SR20 rifles. These were designed specifically to be inexpensive to manufacturer for export to countries such as the U.S. Mauser-Werke leased the idea and space to manufacturer from Heym thus the Mauser Original roll mark.
The serial numbers started with 67110 in 1968 and ended with 95204 in 1974.
Both actions were made from round bar stock supplied by Krupp steel. They should remind you of a push feed action since that's what they are. The difference between the 2000 and the 3000 is that the 3000 came without iron sights and had a soft rubber recoil pad. The recoil lugs were welded on rather than being machined in one-piece as the original Mausers were. These were distributed by Bauer-Mauser in Michigan.
