Couldn't find anything in the search... The block on top of the action is rounded on the corners, also the bottem of the bolt where this block fits is rounded on the edge. Hence, the bolt *pops* out from time to time. If i grind it away i am worried that the action will be sloppy... not good. Should i get new parts (if avalible) or grind and JB weld it?? Also it was my great grandpa's rifle, i dont want to slaughter it haha.
 
A worn action is a worn action....if it is a keepsake, then retire it to a wall. If it is a high power rifle, then it is a dangerous thing to fire. The bolt may kick back into your face. You can weld material and shave it down to original specs or close, but it will ruin the authenticity.
 
What model of gun is it? Is it one of the model 71's high power or a .22? Anyhow, I doubt you will find any new parts for it unless some gunsmith shop has old stock. Also, depending on what it is, you will likely have far more into it monetary value wise if you take it to a gunsmith. If it is sentimental value, then hang it on the wall as suggested.
 
It's a .22. The bolt only slids back when you try and reload as you pull the bolt back. I'll get some pictures after work. The wearing is only in the reloading mechanism. But for now... to work...
 
"...It's a .22..." Which one? Box mag or tube?
"...If i(SIC) grind it away..." It's already too small. JB Weld won't help.
"...doubt you will find any new parts..." Nope. However, Gunparts, Stateside lists some Cooey parts under Winchester. Another bolt will have to be fitted for headspace, even on a .22. Likely cost you more than the rifle is worth.
 
" reloading mechanism" makes me think it is a tube mag set up like a Cooey 60or 600. Tho there are many other brands like Stevens or Marlin that load from the tube also.
 
I guess when he gets back from work we will get more details. As it stands, were are just guessing at what's worn. The "block"..???????
 
are you talking about where the bolt locks in to the tube, the only thing you could do is tighten the nut that raises the tube as much as you can before it doesnèt alow the tube to move back and forth.

the tube has to move you probably know that tho..

i just bought a new bolt for model 60.. old one still works i just like shiny things brb theres a bobby pin on the floor
 
Here's where it's worn.

I think your problem lies elsewhere. That bit of wear shouldn't affect lock up. Is there a burr preventing a full lock-up somewhere?

To remove the bolt from this gun you pull the bolt back until it stops,( after losening the nut that holds the feed tube tight) then pull the trigger to lower the catch that stops the bolt from coming out. When you pull the trigger that catch/lever drops down and the bolt can be removed. Is that catch worn down or broken. Look through the end of the barrel (breech end) with the bolt removed and see if you can see the lever going up and down when you pull the trigger. It appears it is worn enough that when you cycle the bolt this catch is not stopping the bolt from coming out.:confused:
 
yea, you should see mine its wayyyy worse then that and it works fine... im sure you dont have you're threaded rod underneath the tube mag screwed high enought for this peice to properley ingage.. if you take you gun apart you have to loosin this peice. when you put it back togother you have to tighten it back up or your bolt will just slide right out
 
The bolt catcher lever looks/works fine to my knowledge. The extractor is worn to an angle, dremel?? The magazine tube bolt is as tight as she goes too. Is it possible to get a slightly longer bolt? J/W. Lowriderchevy
 
very true. You have to make sure the nut that holds the feed tube is tightened up. I assumed it is but one should never assume. Make sure the nut is tight enough but don't go superman on it or you will have another problem. If the bolt still comes out with the nut snug, then check for worn stop lever as mentioned.
 
You were posting just as I posted my last suggestions. If everything we mentioned appears as it should be then I'm afraid you might have to take it to a gunsmith to at least let him look at it in person, even if just to tell you what may be wrong. Once pointed out, maybe you can fix it on your own.
