Hi everyone,
I have a newbie question.... I have an Axis in .270 Win but have misplaced the bolt, a friend has the same rifle chambered in 30-06 he's offered to lend me his bolt until I can get a replacement. I understand that the .270 is a just a modified 30-06, the magazines are interchangeable right?
Will the bolts be interchangeable or should I just wait for to order a replacement kit as I'm having trouble finding one that's fully assembled.
Thanks
Yes. But the headspace would have to be checked when switching a new bolt or bolt head to a different receiver.
When you say misplaced do you mean you have put it somewhere, but can't find it,or have you lost it outdoors somewhere?.If it is findable, then I would find it or wait till you just come across it.I have misplaced things,and looked everywhere,and given up looking,but usually find it by dumb luck after I replace it,and when I do find it I remember putting it there.
Like was stated. Your barrel head space needs to be inspected and more likely than not, reset.
By misplaced I mean lost.
Thanks everyone for your time to reply, I'm going to have a local gunsmith replace the bolt.
Thanks again!
