I've spent near a year and a half looking for this old Stevens bolt assembly. It works good but it has a couple problems. You can see in the photo the nickel/chrome is chipped and badly worn. If you look close at the rim of the bolt head at the groove edge you can see a small piece has broken off. Next to the bolt assembly is a new old stock bolt head that I got from Numrich. They say it is for my gun. But, you can tell it's not exactly right. There is a flat spot cut into the side. I guess you would call it a bolt stop. When you pull the bolt back the edge of the flat spot will catch on the head of the trigger. Pull the trigger and the bolt can be removed from receiver. Compare the flat spot on the new/old head to the bolt assembly and you see it's about a half inch longer. That's the problem. It allows the bolt to travel to far back before stopping. There is a tit in the receiver that fits into that groove and aligns the extractor. If the bolt travels to far back the tit will come out of the groove and the extractor will be out of alignment. I know I will never find the correct head. In my year and a half of looking for the assembly I never found Any parts except at Numrich and they have it totally wrong. My question is, How can I make this bolt head work? This bolt head is right in every other way. It's just allowed to travel to far back. Any ideas?
