Grunig & elmiger old receiver questions

[jon walker]

Hi, hoping someone can help me out with a couple of questions.
I have an older (1983) Grunig round receiver rifle in 308,

I am looking for instructions to pull apart the bolt, but cannot find any information anywhere,

Also looking for a scope rail or bases to fit this receiver, anyone know of a manufacturer who makes one?

There is between bolt rear and rear plig a washer arrector bernt to enter in a notch to prevent the rear knob loosening. Punch the washer flat and the knob can be loosened and parts comes apart.

For the rail, I think the best is to get pne for any round action and have holes drilled to suit. From memory, holes spacing is .860' (21,84mm) same as many US-British actions.

Thanks for the bolt info Robert, very helpful.

The hole spacing appears to be 10mm/98mm/10mm

10mm between pairs and 98mm between centers.

I received an email from grunig saying eaw 86-0086 bases for a steyr m will fit, which I guess means Warne m810 bases will fit, I wanted a 20 moa rail but I guess I will have to settle for bases and Burris rings with inserts, unless someone knows if a rail with those hole spacing?

Jpn,
The best recommendation I can pass you is to purchase a 20MOA rail for a round action (Swing-Paramont for instance, very common in UK) and have it drilled with new holes by your smith or a friend engineer.
Do not attempt to drill the receiver, as iu is extremely tpugh.

Can't EAW take care of you? He's pretty accommodating.

Only issue with EAW is im in new Zealand which makes things more difficult. no local dealer etc.

EGW in Quakertown, PA can probably help you with a scope mount in any MOA you want. If you send the receiver to them they will custom make the mount for you. Talk to Jim or Cody. I've seen mounts that they've made for people all over the US. http://www.egwguns.com/index.php?p=page&page_id=meet_egw

Jon,
As you are in NZ, perhaps John Hastie, who used to import them, could help?

Thanks for all the suggestions, managed to find some Warne m810 bases that fit the receiver, only now I have to find some bolts to mount the bases, receiver is tapped m4 x 0.7 but I can't find anything with a small enough head to fit the recess in the bases.

Then my next problem, finding a new stock for it, I'm contemplating building a custom dolphin style stock out of aluminium (building myself) , budget is limited, so anyone else have any suggestions?

I've had a lot of luck mounting cup head bolts in a cordless drill & spinning them against a linishing belt or cutting wheel until they're down to the right diameter. It sometimes takes a sacrificial screw or two until you get to cut the sides square and not on a taper.
