No7 bolt head ?

[tatou]

So is anyone able to confirm what bolthead my spare one is? I'm looking to move it on but no point if I can't positively identify what it actually is! Cheers.

Judging from the picture Roger Payne posted it is highly likely a No6 bolt head.
And judging by the lack of responses i would say it is rare (not many people know what it is) so that would support a bit the theory of it being for a No6 .22 rifle

My apologies... it was you Alan, in post #6
I could blame booze but since i dont drink i will admit it was just laziness on my part and didn't look on the previous page before writing my post.


Tonyd, you have the bolt in hand so you are better placed to compare it with Alan's pic.... what do you think?

So.. Is the consensus that these are No.6 .22 boltheads? I somehow have two. And they fit into the British No.7 action with just a very small mis-alignment of the extractor slots.
