Steyr Mannlicher M95 Bolt Head Damage Advice

[Rylan_L]

I have a Steyr Mannlicher M95 8x56 and a piece of the bolt face is mushroomed/bent. Looking for any repair advice and or ideas of where to look for a replacement. Can't find anywhere that ships to Canada

Interesting, looks like it was either dropped or someone attempted to put a cartridge in the chamber then close the bolt. Most likely dropped though. If it was me I would just clean it up with either a lathe or very carefully with a die grinder and some emery. Thats only if it was causing a actual issue. If the firearm still chambers (from the mannlicher clip as its designed to do), extracts, and ejects properly I wouldn’t even touch it.

Clean it up and try running it. I had a few m95s where that tab had broken off and they ran just fine. Honestly i would be more concerned with the firing pin hole, looks a mess.

That's one of the feed lips that grab and guide the rim of the cartridge in to position behind extractor. If the rifle has non matching or force matched bolt these usually get mushroomed like that by contact with barrel chamber.
I would just lightly sand and clean the burrs on top with sand paper and make sure the groove is prominent in the lip.
Not too aggressively though, just enough to make it smooth.
