I have been going through the Cody McCracken Library online and haven't seen any drawing of the 66 or 73 bolts.

ANTHONY I would like to try to find a member that has a 66 with genuine factory CF bolt that would be willing to have all the dimensions taken by a trained machinist for accurate measurements let me know if you think this is a something that I should pursue or not my best as always to you and yours gene 66

gene,

I am very aware of you're pursuit in this as we've discussed in the past and can understand you're posting this here on the general forum. You've been searching for a spare or extra M-1866 bolt with the Center Fire conversion intact that has proven over the years to be as rare as the old proverbial "Hens Teeth", comparison.

Possibly if a member has one of the original 1,020 M-1866 Winchesters that we're sent to Brazil in 1891, they can help out with you're request in getting numbers with pictures, so you can find a machinist to help you duplicate a bolt that you are having a hard time finding.

A few M-1866 we're and are converted from the .44 Henry Flat cartridge to the .44 Center Fire cartridge conversion you are seeking, using the original bolt, which IMO, would surly be a lot less challenging and work to accomplish!

Good Luck in you're search.

I am interested in finding one or both of the following:

Varminter in 220 Swift caliber. Condition 95% to mint (not unfired - if such a thing even exists!)
Standard in 22 Hornet caliber. Condition 95% to mint (not unfired)

Guns need to be original without modifications.

Thanks!

I'm glad that Steve added the Link to the post.

Not sure what you're budget is or what you're thinking, so the one I posted, #49 would be on the lower side as a decent representative, with less upside. Many serious collectors wouldn't touch it.

The one Steve posted, #29 would be on the higher end of that spectrum and definitely a lot more desirable. With a lot more upside. IMO!

Interested in hearing how you wind up or decide what you want or find!
