Long or short? Brian.

Push feeds are all one length I believe. This one is a 243 featherweight.

Push feeds are all one length I believe. This one is a 243 featherweight.

This was true up till 1981 when U.S. Repeating Arms bought out Winchester firearms and started making a shorter action for the short action cartridges like the .223, .243, .308, etc.

Dang maybe it is a short action, I will look, that’s about the era of gun it is.

Have you tried Midwest Gun Works?

What is your bolt length and cal?

What is your bolt length and cal?

It’s a 243, barrel is stamped SA. I actually think I only need the cocking piece on the end of the bolt if anyone has that?

 

[SBS]

The cocking piece on the end of the firing pin is a semi-permanent installation -- not easy to remove or replace and generally not sold as a separate piece. Perhaps you are referring to the bolt sleeve (other companies call it a shroud), which has the safety lever mounted in it? If so, that part is user removable and replaceable, and it's the same for both short and long action.

Not looking for the shroud, I replaced the safety lever and detent already. Someone has played with a file on this rifle and it will fire if put in the middle position, the trigger is pulled and the flip the safety to fire and it will fire. Trying to get this figured out so the gun can be useable again. Any help is appreciated, thank you

If its on safe, and you pull the trigger then take it off safe without letting go of trigger, any mauser action (and this is a mauser copy) will fire

SA 223 is in stock, while SA 22250 etc is out. Unsure of difference.

The trigger is live when the safety is in the middle position? If so, the firing pin needs to be adjusted by carefully filing the bottom angle (of the firing pin) where it meets the sear. That will shift the firing pin ever so slightly forward. Which gives the safety lever more contact with the firing pin. Don't alter anything other than the firing pin.
