Brian--

I believe you were the UK source that sold me the bolt heads back then.

For what it is worth, I remember being in the back area at Springfield Sporters and looking at an eight foot row of magazine bodies setting upside down. They were in the process of matching magazines with the .22 receivers.

I'm in Edgefield, South Carolina USA so if you sourced them from England it wasn't me.

Brian--

Sorry, obviously someone else. That's what happens when you get old. LOL!!

Very interesting information on the No7. I wonder if anyone knows if there is a current source for the ejector and the extractors for this trainer ? I am missing these parts to make mine complete .

[Peter Laidler]

They are being made as we speak by DaveN from this forum

[DaveN]

Out of the past and missed you all. Yes we made some and i sent them insured to Brian. He then sent them to the buyers in England and sad to say they were lost in transit.
I gave up the finished bolt in my completed rifle to fill that order as i knew Andy would complete another one for me. Sadly he got very sick and died of cancer before that happened. Also sad is my no7 sits still incomplete but beautiful to behold. I still feel the pain of all that work ( a labor of love) gone to waist. All those hours and having it all go so awfully wrong.
Tis the ups and downs of life.

What parts are you still missing?

[tr63]

I can use the cocking piece .

[DaveN]

I have all of the parts. The firing pin assembly and extractor need to be fit finished and installed into my bolt. I have the ejector plate just need to trim the screws to proper length and install it.
What I don’t have is the expertise to accomplish the first two parts.
