.22 Bolt.

[read6737]

I was thinking that at some point I might build a .22 on a N°4.
Some bits and pieces you do not see all the time, Get them when you can,
I can always sell it on,
There is a longBranch in 303s up for sale with a Parker Hale PH5B sight and a few other bits that i could use in another arm.
The Barrel I could keep justincase my other 303s gets worn out.

thanks Warren got your email reply sent.

I can see why there are standard bolts and diffrent bolt heads,
and others cut bolts and a new much longer head,
because it dependss if a N°4MK1 or MK1* was used,
the N°8 though is a little diffrent, am I right?

for those interested this was my email to Warren.

length is 2.161 inch? 54.90mm.

on your pic I can see a stamp on the lug that you engague on the guide rail,

the uk N°7, mine has a crossed swords there and on the other side is a broad arrow,

the bolt will fit a N°4 mk 1 fazackerly, not the Long branch 1*.

the bolt handle has a serial N° it is cross sawards 0060S88 or the ther way up, as I I think it should be,

BS0900 then the cross swards grips at top,

Thread 12; the sup[port arm thinggy (or what they call the auxiliary extractor in the old RAF parts list) should be easy to make from a suitable length of spring steel. Because it only has to spring in and out for the width of the .22" rim and then, only flex just forwards of the retaining screw point. As I recall, the was an RAF AP memo that came out about this thing during the 70's, all to do with this thing bending or breaking when the rifle was single shot loaded without the magazine fitted and as such the broken end could fire the round during the chambering process. More to it than that of course. But a simple thing to make. The problem might be finding one to copy!

Peter I would love to have one auxiliary extractor spring . If anyone has one, I would be interested in purchasing it .

So it's for a No7. It appears I was mistaken; having only the photo go on. Very pleased that it's been identified properly.
Nice to see the photo from Warren, great collection you have there.
