I had a nice incomplete model 54 Winchester bolt action rifle come my way and I need some parts to repair it.
for the most part the action is good and it has a trigger, but I am minus the complete bolt and bottom metal like the magazine and follower.
The stock is terrible and the bore on the barrel is not good,
I could possibly use bottom metal from a model 70 pre 64 or pre war and if lucky may find a pre war stock to fit it, the bottom metal would determine what barrel I find for it, I don't want to use a 30-06 or 270 I have those already so I could use a pre 64 barrel or maybe even a post 64 may be the right thread in "unsual" caliber prehaps?
The bolt either stripped or complete would have to be from a 54 though because of its way of bolt stop.
I thought I would ask here on the forum because of one place where members know their guns.
Thanks email me or pm me if you have a part or a lead on one?
