Winchester Model 100 243 Win

Will late model 100 bolt work in a early model 100

I could be wrong,but I believe the bolt is the same,and the stock was the biggest change between the pre and post 64s. The later stocks have basketweave,stamped checking as opposed to the hand cut checking of the earlier models.

Yes, as long as they are the same caliber.

Yes, as long as they are the same caliber.

IIRC, the 100 was only chambered in 243, 308 and 284. I would think that the bolt face diameter would be the same for all three. Does anyone know of any other differences?

Be sure it has the new style firing pin. The old one had a bad habit of sticking and causing the gun to go full auto. Call Winchester Customer Service Department at: 800-333-3288.
