Rarms Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 As header. Looking for a Remington 700 long action bolt to suit .300 Win Mag. Don't mind a pacific tool one, or an aftermarket one. Just need one and looking for the best place to get one. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarms Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Midway UK Direct from PTG What would be the easiest way to get it direct from PTG? Are there any RFDs you know of who could order it for me? I assume it needs to come via an RFD? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 PTG will no longer ship bolts under ITAR regulations. I can get you a replacement l/a bolt made if you supply your reciever.The rifle will also require reproofing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
243ack Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Try Edgar Bros. first. Recently bought a S/A LH Remmy bolt from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarms Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Baldie, what sort of cost are we talking about to make a new one? I have a bolt, the bolt face is just too large in diameter for the .300 Win Mag case. I think it is cheaper to get one from PTG than Edgar Bros!

baldie Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 You are looking at £400 plus proof. That includes fluting and a sako extractor. What is the original out of ? It can only be 338 if its too big for a .300 win mag ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxshooter Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I dont want to step on Daves toes Kyle as he knows what he is talking about but Riflecraft may be helpful as a bolt source. MArk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpd Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 As another option, you could bush the BF and install a sako extractor in your existing bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MArk Mark, thanks for that, will give them a call. As another option, you could bush the BF and install a sako extractor in your existing bolt Do you know where I could get this done and a rough cost? Problem I have is the cost is going to be covered by a third party, and naturally they want to make sure they are paying for the cheapest solution, so I want to make sure I have explored all options! I want it resolved ASAP too, so I can shoot the flaming gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 My RFD reckons it is for .300 Rem Mag. Are you able to use the old bolt and just change the head? Get it checked with a caliper. Its highly unlikely to be a 338 bolt face, they are not common in the UK , the magnum bolt face is. The bolt head cannot easily be changed.

I assume he has checked it with a caliper, it came about as it wouldn't extract .300 Win Mag, so he changed the extractor, but the case head is still sloppy in the bolt head. Will check the diameter with him tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 As Danpd said, get it bushed. It isn't hard and any competent gun plumber can do it for you. I've done a few, but I'm on a sabbatical in NZ. No point buying a new bolt when all it will cost is the cost of a Sako Extractor, proof and an hours labour or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
