think we might have found were the original bolt went. it seems i have an uncle who was alittle upset when he found out he wasnt getting the gun. so im thinking he took it. sincee it was in the gun before christmas

Concur that in a case such as this go directly to the source.You may end up having to ship them the gun to have them fit the new bolt to the gun or they may reccommend a smith for such work.

well the good news is i can get a new bolt i am going to have to send the gun in and it will be about 400 bucks but id say its worth it

What a tool,I see you've got a goofy uncle in your family too.I've got an uncle like that too,spoiled rotten momma's boy,lived at the home place until he was 40+ rent free with his family,then built a house on 40 acres that my grandparents gave him,inherited all of my grandads tools,tractors,trucks and farm equipment PLUS all my grandpas guns including..............wait for it...................30.06 model 70 winchester with a serial number of.............wait for it ............759,was my great grandmothers rifle,shot maybe 30 rounds in it's entire life it's mint condition,bought brand new the year they came out.Suppose that ones worth anything?

The only thing my mom got was changing my grandparents diapers and phone calls in the middle of the night to haul them to the hospital.My great grandfather gave her 2 acres and my grandmother pitched a huge snit over it.

Before I spent the 400$ I'd get someone to corner the "Uncle" and figure out what's what.

yea i hve a few people in the family like that he was real upset over a 12gage my dad got it was an old winchester i think old pump with the slide hamer steel but plat no modle number just a date 1865 i think the thing is this paticular uncle has a bit of a drinking problem and will pawn off anything for a case of beer or a bottle.
