justifies the phrase "ask for forgiveness not beg for permission" by the sound of that.

If you want I can get it for you, might take a while, then remove the bolt and send it to you, or I could strip it down completely and post bits and pieces over, might take a bit of fucking around as I would have to apply for a permit to acquire for the rifle, usually takes a couple of weeks. Anyway, have a think about it and we may be able to work something out.

A very kind offer there @Kamel. I will have a think about it and if i can't find a bolt over here I may well be keen.

I certainly wouldn't need the whole striped down rifle sent over. Just the bolt would do fine.

Had the same situation with a 63 sportco I was offered no bolt or magazine. The bolt was found weeks later in a tin containing old photographs, and I got a magazine at the auckland arms show along with some 6.5 swede clips off one of the "treasure tables" so dont worry one will turn up.

I have had another look and there is no other obvious makings. Any idea how i would tell if it is a copy and if so what of ?

No worries mate, I wonder if I will need to find out about exporting firearm parts,? Hope you find one over there in the mean time, it may be a bit pricy for you getting me to send it over, but it wouold be good for you to be able to get the old clunker going again.

Only problem is he can't remember where he put the bolt, reckons he has turned the place upside down looking for it, with no joy !?!

Rifiling looks immaculate and I'm keen to find a bolt for it as reckon it would be a great starter rifle for my young fella.

Anyone have any ideas where i might find one.
