22 Marlin magnum parts questions (25-30yrds old)

[vontar]

I am currently on dial up, so I won't be back to check this later tonight.

This is a very general question, I am wondering how hard you guys think it might be to get a BOLT for a Marlin .22 magnum, that is about 25 to 30 years old?

I just found out, my dad knows a person that has one that that got it new about that many years ago and believe it or not lost the bolt and never replaced it. Dad saw the gun recently when the person was oftering it to Dad. In Short, dad said it looks brand new.

I don't have the model number right now, so in general, just wondering how hard a BOLT action for it might be to get. Dad even wondered if the bolt from a .22 Marlin about the same age might be interchangeable. I doubt the interchangeable bit but I don't know.

Sorry no spell check on this PC and Dial up not updating it.

Dad knows the person and the gun has been put up. He told dad he had it apart cleaning it and left the bolt out of it on a table and believes it fell off and maybe into the trash.

We are thinking about buying it if we can get the bolt reasonable and I believe a bolt is not going to be that hard of an item to obtain.

Numrich has alot of the parts and there are quite a few to create an entire bolt assembly.

Without a model number it's hard to say.

I've owned a couple of Marlin .22 bolt actions over the years, and all I can tell you is that their bolts looked the same... Never had two at the same time to really compare 'em though. And I wouldn't think the bolt face for a magnum gun would be the same as for the LR gun, but I suppose it's possible. I also would expect the magnum's bolt to be just a little bit longer than the regular .22's as well.

I had the same thoughts Jamie.

The reason dad wondered about interchangeable, was because I have a Marlin .22 LR already, he thought if interchable parts I could get it and just change the bolt depending on which what I wanted to use. (Dad thinks the cheaper way when 2 choices). I figure I would buy a bolt if the price was right.

Dad already has a .22 Marlin Magnum, about 30 years old and I know my .22 LR is about 25 years old. Both of these are complete.

Next week I can bring my .22 LR up to dads to compare bolts but I figured I would ask for thoughts now being curious. (He wants to conpare the bolts on what we have before he makes an ofter or have an idea what a bolt migt cost).

Dad believes he can get me a good deal on that other one that is missing a bolt and I was already considering buying a .22 magnum anways.

I can't do any extensive searches right now being on dial up. could someone search the web for me and post back some prices for a .22 Magnum BOLT, Just assume the entire Bolt action is missing for a .22 Marlin Magnum, everything that is in the bolt. A complete bolt

I'm seeing prices right around $40 dollars at various auction sites... but also a couple of different model numbers...

Gonna require more info, I'm afraid.

thanks, I told dad I bet I could buy one between 30 and 50. That makes me feel good.
