Some one I know has inherited a Kleinguenther. They can not find the bolt and would like to replace it if possable. It is also missing the internal mag as well. Any ideas?
Kleinguenther
Made in Germany
Vuere Vuehrenbach
Seguin Tex
Mod k15
cal 308 Nor. mag
 
they were imported into the usa as kleinguenther in canada they were imported as Vore Titan same rifle made in Germany the odds of finding a bolt would be very slim and likely very expensive you may be able to find a clip $150. bolt would likely be $200-$400. epps had a rifle for sale Vore Titan $600ish.
 
Hi. Where you are matters.
A Kleinguenther is a very high end rifle. It was made by Voere GmbH in Voehrenbach, Germany. Imported, Stateside(and customized), during the 70's and 80's by what is now KDF in Seguin, Texas. They might, heavy on the might, be able to help. info@kdfguns.com (800) KDF-GUNS.
Voere was sold to Mauser in 1994. Anyway a new bolt will have to be fitted by a smithy. Must be a 'magnum' bolt too. The .308 Norma mag is a belted magnum cartridge. Not exactly easy(not impossible) nor inexpensive to find ammo for either. Runs around $80Cdn. per 20. I think Norma is the only company loading it. You may want to tell your buddy that before he spends any money.
 
The Mauser 99 and 225 are also the same. I don't envy your chances at finding a bolt, or even a magazine. I bought the last magazine as a spare at the local shop that used to sell them new. I paid $150 for it about 5 years ago.

They are very accurate rifles - if I recall correctly they had a 3 shots in 1/2" at 100 yards accuracy guarantee.

Here is a link to the owner's manual:

Your chances of finding parts for this rifle are less than zero. Screw a piece of 2x12 to the the butt, run a cord up the pipe and top off with a lampshade. Not what you want to hear i'am sure, but that's the way it is.
 
K-15's were and are high end product(out of production, the whole company)! Good luck in finding parts in Canada or US, best bet is find a contact in Europe and see if its possible to get replacement parts, but be prepared to pay up to $200-250 for magazine and up to $500 for a bolt, I know I had to do this once! cheers Dale Z!PS, Mauser once upon a time sold Klugentheurs threw there buisness in Canada, try and see if Wolverines supply(Mauser stocking dealer)can help?
