This is a dumb question, but it's the internet so I'm asking in anyway. Is it possible to buy a receiver without the bolt?
Thanks

Re: Weird Receiver Question
Don't know about buying one without, but I won a pre-64 Mod 70 action without a bolt once. Someone had donated it at a match and I won it. Haven't done anything with it yet, but I've had it a long time.

Re: Weird Receiver Question
I doubt you could get one new without the bolt....probably used...is your goal less expense?

Re: Weird Receiver Question
I was thinking it would be a great way to do a budget build. Considering PTG already makes the bolts for a couple of the well known action makers. Just couldn't find anything online about receiver only sales. The dream would be to get a blemished receiver and grab a PTG. Though I don't imagine there is that much fallout from action manufacturers.

Be careful, there's more to this than just sticking a bolt into an action. There are closing cams, primary extraction cams, cocking cams, etc involved. Some actions have a closing cam on the bolt lugs, some on the lug faces in the receiver, extraction cams on the back of the bolt handle, etc, and all these must be timed properly to get an action the will cycle and operate properly.
