Winchester Bolt

[h2oboy]

Does anyone know where I can find a bolt for a Winchester Model 70 Classic in .375 I have tried all my usual sources, Bobs,Gun Parts,Jack First,Ect,Ect. I can find bolts for push feed actions but nothing for controlled feed. The bolt that I am trying to find a replacement for has been seriously Bubba'ized. One lug has been partly cut off and then welded up. I really am trying to avoid making a new bolt head. Thanks for any info.

These guys got the bulk of the new-style model 70 parts when they closed.
But I doubt they will sell you a bolt without you sending them the gun for fitting & headspace check.

I have a complete Model 70 bolt that came with a collection of miscellaneous parts I bought a while back. It was labeled with only "Post 64 big bore" and I don't know anything else about it.

If you think it might work for you, give me your email and I'll send some pics.

I would send the rifle in to U. S. Repeating Arms and have them fit a new bolt. That way you will be assured of proper headspace and that the trigger and safety mechanisms function properly.
