Hi everyone,
I am looking for a replacement bolt for my 6.5 x55 rifle built around the old P17 30-06 action. It came to my attention when I sent the rifle to Gunworks here in Canterbury to try and help tighten up my grouping, that the bolt face/head is stuffed and with the full house hand loads I'm pushing down my 26 inch heavy barrel, I'm lucky it didn't go pear-shaped in rather grand fashion 6 inches from my face. If anyone has one or knows where we can dig one up that's in good nick, that would be magic. Quentin

Hi Quentin, try Ski&Sports New Plymouth, Jeff often has parts for military rifles. Ph 06-7587144

If you get really stuck, you may be able to find someone willing to do repairs and re-case harden the bolt head.

Great to hear, Jeff always has parts hidden away, actions here and and there, barrels, I am sure he still has a stock of mint VZ 8mm barrels for the M98 action.
