Anyone Heard of North American Arms Co?

I paid $125 for mine with a scope.

However, I did have to make a new firing bolt retaining pin this weekend as the old one broke.
My first bit of gunsmithing, strange thing being it feels even more like its my rifle now that I have worked on it.
 
I was about to post the same question!
I'm looking for a bolt for an old repeater .22
With "global firearms" on the barrel and "NAACO" on the buttplate.
Anybody know where to get parts for this old rifle? There are no model numbers on the gun.
 
I once had a single shot model with the rear sight missing and the front sight was epoxied into the dovetail (?) :confused:

The rear sight is held in place by what appear to be 2X6X48 tpi screws (might be wrong on the thread size).

The rifle I had came with one of those 1970s bushnell scopes with the integral dovetail clamp.

It shot very well.

Imo they are great value and patriotic to boot.

*edit*

There was a company called north american arms (IIRC) that was making 1911A1 copies for Canadian service in WWI (timeline?).
 
To those looking for parts, Numrich has some...I was very lucky though, a very kind CGNer gave me a bolt for my inherited NAACO 30, it's easier to cut and past the PM, 'cause I'm lazy:)

I wanted to thank you again for the .22 bolt you sent me, although it was determined to create it's own bit of history:).
I'm not sure if I said before, as I've magically managed to erase all my PMs, but the bolt was for my mother's target rifle, that had it's bolt put away somewhere clever for safekeeping (it's still there somewhere....very safe), so I was very happy to receive the one you sent. It fit wonderfully, so I blew the dust out of the peep sight, cased up the rifle and headed to the range. With an assortment of .22 ammo, I was ready to relive some childhood memories, and have yet another wonderful range day.
The first round flew off to 25 yards a touch high (not bad thought I) so I adjusted and went for #2..but instead of the snap of a .22, I got a grunching noise...very odd. Upon closer inspection, it was soon apparent that the extractor retaining clip did not like being sent so far from home, and in it's petulance, decided to break in half:(. I carefully gathered up the parts of the bolt, and began researching where to find another little spring clip. To my joy I found them almost immediately...to my chagrin, they were living at Numrich, the land of insanely high shipping charges:rolleyes:. I knew I had a couple of buddies that needed various small gun parts, and with a couple of phone calls and e-mails, proceeded to try and herd cats. After a couple of false starts, and "I changed my minds" and "OH they have THIS TOO!! Wait!" I finally got my order off.
Last weekend a far-to-large-for-the-parts-maybe-that's-why-your-shipping-is-nuts box arrived, and I started throwing packing material around the house; found my tiny package of Enfield butt swivel screws right away, but where are my clips(ordered 3, that way I'll never need another one as long as I live)?
Called Numrich. Ahhh, order split in two! No idea why, but Okee Dokee. Giant box arrived, full of packing material (my son loves Numrich! Tons of bubble wrap for popping!) and nestled inside, extractor retaining clips! With only a mild amount of swearing I got one fitted, and now, thanks to you, after a 20 year hiatus I'm once again able to shoot my mother's NAACO .22
She seems to love CCI Standard Velocity so far...but there's lots left to test!

No luck with numrich. They are out of complete bolts and only have parts... No bodies though. Not sure what to do with this old Canuck!
 
I was going through some printed material yesterday and came across a NAACO catalogue from the early 60's. They marketed more than just rimfires. Advertised a lever in 270/30-06! Appears to be Sako...?
 
How about these? Not a rifle but the Mini Master .22LR & .22 mag. from Provo, UT.

I have the repeater model that the previous owner had worked on to accept a cooey clip. After doing some more work on it I got the clip to feed good, but I never liked the chunky stock, I trimmed it down and my wife did a painting of a fox on the butt stock. I have had this rifle for over 25 years now and it still shoots great.
 
Are there any modern magazines that will work in a Model 20 repeater.

The spring in mine is weak and will not feed the last two rounds properly and I don't think I can get the magazine open without breaking it.
