Same rifle??

Mossberg ATR and the Raptor Sporting rifles that were made in the 90's? I need a bolt for a Raptor rifle in .270 and wonder if they would interchange. Probably not worth the money I would spend on a bolt, but right now its just a door stop.....Maybe a Give-a-way???

    I tried to research a definite answer for you using www.dogpile.com and while many sources say it is the same rifle, I could not find anything that said the bolts would interchange.

    I suggest contacting Mossberg to confirm that the bolts will interchange (although they may insist otherwise even if they do) and then keep a sharp eye on sellers like this one:

    Best wishes,

    You might just call mossberg and see. I know they bought that line after the other company was getting into patent trouble.



    I don't know if they changed anything important or not.

    The bolt doesn't have to be specifically for .270. A number of other "LONG ACTION SIZE" cartridges would use exactly the same bolt, i.e. 30-06 & 25-06. If the Raptor "LONG ACTION" rifle was also utilized for the .308 family of cartridges, all of them would also work for your .270.

    Thanks for the info. Im gonna give Mossberg a call tmrw, but like Henry pointed out, I seriously doubt they will say that they interchange because of liability reasons. But it cant hurt to ask.
