Hey folks,
I recently had my beater Sako rebarreled and the gunsmith noted some issues "One is the missing ‘block’ that fits under the guide and causes it to index properly. The other is you need one new bolt guide retaining collar." I had the previous barrel rechambered and can only assume the other "smith" had damaged the parts and I didn't notice with all the other issues with the rifle. I contacted Stoeger Canada and got a bolt guide replacement kit.
As you can see, the bolt guides aren't the same. I'm assuming that the new guide (on the left) is for the two lug bolt? From my figuring, I can just put the old guide back on with the new replacement parts...but I thought I'd ask here before I started fiddling around.
Thanks,
Cory
