Yes, but only once they've stuck a foot of Russian steel into someone's guts.

Nice to see them showing solidarity with Sturgeon's new 4th Reich SNP-Emblem
&
For Snayperskaya's benefit - They lost the bolts in Finland - along with 500,000/1,000,000 or so troops; new troops they get free, bolts cost money!

Our DRILL rifles during RAF Basic, were some very strange L1A1 "copies" - but made from bitsa-things.
The main action was a Lee Enfield, with an added pistol grip, L1A1 handguards...whatever they had in the spares box.
Bayonets were a strange No.9 type bladed job. Heavy buggers...

About time you got over yourself......I don't think Finland would do so well today.
Don't really think you need a bolt in a parade, nothing unusual

They are only issued with bolts if they survive their first invasion.

Is that when THEY are the one's doing the invading
(pre-Great Patriotic War/1941?)
Not a lot of resistance to the Soviets when they joined Hitler in the invasion of Poland & the Russians were well known for the humanity they showed to their prisoners i.e.
