Winchester Model 75 bolt handle

62fuelie

Can someone, please, give me the diameter and thread pitch for the bolt handle for the Winchester Model 75 .22 lr Target. Bubba seems to have managed to turn it out past the stake strike and I hope there is enough to rethread it. Also, any idea of when SN 67711 was built?
Thanks

I have no idea on the dimensional information. Serial number 67711 was manufactured in the year 1949.

Brownell's 'big book' doesn't list just the bolt handle as a separate part, part #1275 is complete with the bolt sleeve.

No clue as to size. Small I suspect with extra fine pitch. I would cut the head off a socket head screw then D&T. Or make a fitted stud and low temp silver solder.

This might help.

added Hardware stores seldom have gun screws let alone the correct dies and taps for them. Generally you can go up one size on a screw to clean out stripped threads, which is easier than closing the hole and starting over.

I made a threaded bushing (inside and out) to repair the cracked hole in my 94 AE cartridge guide. The outside was 2 screw sizes larger and the inside was the original factory size.

Thanks for the info, guys. Numrich and the NRA assembly book don't show the handle as separate, either, but it is. The link that charliemeyer007 provided showed the junction and the stake strike that the handle was forced past. Guess I'll head for the hardware store and start trying bolts in the sleeve until I get the right one and then get a tap and die for the size and hope there is enough metal for the threads to grab - then maybe a small dab of JB Weld.

drill and pin it.

www.Outbackgunparts.com made new handles a while back. Might have some in stock.
