spanish gaurdia mauser bolt

[lee-enfield shooter]

I have a Spanish Mauser Gaurdia 308 rifle and im not sure if i need to replace the bolt. The safety doesnt work, it won't fire, it wont even dent the primer on the shell. I dont know if there is some kind of adjustment i can do to the bolt or what. If I do have to replace it where can i find one?

If you replace the bolt, you'll have to re-headspace the rifle. You should disassemble the bolt you have and see what needs replaced. GunPartsCorp.com will probably have what you need to repair it. Sounds like a firing pin and spring and possibly a new cocking piece.

Here's some info on the Guardia, and bolt disassembly is found on the rt side of the page.

Send in a picture of the bolt. It may be misassembled or locked, or the sear may be damaged. Either way, we can diagnose it and you can fix it with some direction.
