J.C. Higgins/ Sears & Roebuck Mod.41?

[Cserv]

I have an old Mod. 41, she still shoots fairly good for as old as she is. What I am looking to know is if the bolt can be repaired or if anyone sells/makes a replacement. The lip around the bolt face is starting to look like it is flaring a little bit. Love this old single shot, and would like to keep it shooting. Any info or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I recently went through the same with an old JC higgins. Most of these were made by marlin. I looked on Numrich, the Marlin model you need looks like a 122. They were sold out of bolts, but I found this on gunbroker

Hope this works

It's not the bolt body, but where the firing pin is. The case sits inside this part, and the lip is starting to flare. But thanks for the reply.

Anyone know where a guy could find another stock for this old rifle, or am I going to have to try and custom make one. It only has one screw holding the action in the stock, and it looks like a guy could get a nice piece of hardwood and fabricate w/ woodworking tools. Any comments welcome.
