hangunnr Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Does anyone know of a competent rifle smith that could handle the repair on my Springfield bolt... I just got all the components together to finish my Springfield sporter. While trial fitting the action into the stock and checking for bolt clearance I cycled the bolt and the handle just lifted right off...........what a bummer. It has apparently been cracked for quite some time. Anybody got an addy of a good smith that can handle this repair? hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hangunnr Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Re: Need some help... ronin, Thanks for the info. I went ahead and bought a new bolt off of eBay. I may give them a call to see if they'd be interested in doing the finish work my rifle will need.
