Is your manual 40 years old? How about the rifle?

I seriously doubt that 35 cents is the going rate.

ok.... 35 cents was the old rate ..a fair price today would be $3.50 not an outrageous price of $30.00 ..the REMINGTON nylon mod 66 will be sold for parts . before i buy that bolt handle ..[ my rant for today]

Especially for older models, parts can end up costing a pretty bunch. Just the other day, I was asked to find an ejector for an early 1900s Winchester 94... that little part ended up costing $50. The person's opinion on the matter? ''At least now the rifle works.''

It's all about supply and demand.
 
I've purchased from WPG several times. They can be a bit pricey but they can save your bacon sometimes. $30 does sound a bit up there for .35 but at least it will make a sought after rifle function as it should. I bought a $14 scope rail from Brownells and got soaked 42 bucks to ship but i've recovered. Try Saskatoon Gun Shoppe.
 
well i saved some money i repaired the plastic bolt handle ..so all is well ..next gun show in Montreal is in march and will pick up a spare bolt handle ..thanks for the feed back ..
 
I bought a bolt from them once. It arrived and it was really rough and rusted. Sent it back. About a year later I tried to order something else and they didn't want to send me the part because I had sent that bolt back. :)

So you're mad that they want $30 for a part that was discontinued 25+ years ago? Supply and demand...

I phoned today looking for a Franchi butt stock.
I started with a " Howdy, hope you are having a good afternoon! I have a problem but I don't know if you can help."
" Well, thank you- I'll try, what are you looking for?:
" I've got a an early series 12 gauge Franchi 48AL that I a looking for a but stock for, shot in the dark I know, but thought I would check"
"Oh my, no we haven''t had one of those for a while!"
"Okay, thanks anyway."
" You are quite welcome!!"
The last few times i have either been in or phoned, it's always been the same, but I have a serial number or part number if I am looking for an obscure part.....

Make one.

It's a pretty good way to spend a little time with a file and some material of your choice.

If you really thought you prices were still good after all these years, you deserve to be laughed at.
