6-48 plug screws set of 4.
The Model 70 features the highly popular, Pre-`64 type bolt with claw extractor and Controlled Round Feed, proven under actual hunting and shooting conditions.
This model is now available with a threaded barrel for mounting accessories such as a muzzle brake or sound moderator.
The Model 70 offered stronger action, more checkering, improved safety, and much improved trigger. Collectors prefer the Model 70`s manufactured prior to World War II with their fine finish and hand fitted parts even though they did not provide for conventional scope mounting.
If the screws measure approximately 3.5 mm (0.138 inches), it indicates that the screw hole size is 6-48. If the screws measure approximately 4.17 mm (0.164 inches), it indicates that the screw hole size is 8-40.
Screws come in gauges 2 through 16. Most of the time you`ll want to go with a #8 screw. If working with very thick or heavy material, go for #12-14, or with finer woodworking, #6 are often the best choice.
The standard Winchester Model 70 offered a 24”, 26”, or 28” inch barrel. Perhaps the best feature of the rifle that made it superior to other guns was the Mauser two lug extractor bolt with controlled round feeding, which was smooth and made for faster firing.
According to Roger C. Rule`s superb book The Rifleman`s Rifle (a must-have for any M70 enthusiast), the receiver with s/n 0001 was made January 20, 1936, assembled into a complete rifle and released for sale to the public January 1, 1937. The receiver with the highest known s/n, 581471, was made October 18, 1963.
The thread is a 1.000 16 TPI. The face of the barrel is flat. The thing you will notice about the action thread is it has two slots 180 degrees apart that cuts the thread away.
The Winchester Model 70 series rifles are marketed as sniper rifles for military forces and law enforcement agencies under the Fabrique Nationale banner as the Special Police Rifle (SPR) and the Patrol Bolt Rifle (PBR).
The Pre `64 Model 70s are known for being extraordinarily accurate rifles. While living in Alaska, my uncle routinely shot sub-MOA groups with the Model 70 in . 375 H&H Magnum using his own handloads. I have shot my standard-weight Model 70 out to 600 yards with great effect.
There were only 132 One of One Thousand rifles produced in the Winchester 1873 Model, and a scant eight of the Model 1873 One of One Hundreds– only six of which are known today.
If the piece will be subject to lateral pressure (pushing down or against), it is advisable to use a thicker screw. If the piece is subject to withdrawal pressure (pulling apart), then you will want to make sure that the screw is long enough to withstand those forces.
A screw`s measurements are usually indicated as diameter x length, so a countersinking wood screw with a 5/32-inch diameter and a 1-1/2-inch length would be labeled as a #8 x 1-1/2-inch countersinking head wood screw.
The first number is the diameter. The bigger the number the bigger the screw. The second number is the number of threads per inch.

ANSWER : I am not sure about that in your location, meaning laws depend and vary from location to location.
But with your problem I guess a simple look on the paper works or the invoices or something and trying to find the “fine prints” or statements regarding about return and exchange policies, or their warranty coverage. Should you find them and it states coverage “on your side”, well I may suggest you do have a right to claim a refund or a new stock, but if it states otherwise,and of course you have already signed the paper works, I think you may not be eligible for any refund or claim whatsoever.

It is always stated in the paper works you sign when purchasing items,(this is what happens here in my location), so its important to read them well, specially the rule “read between the lines” comes into place, specially the “fine print” or the text or sentences written in a very small, often unreadable with your eyes not squinting.
But a good talk between them and you could always results in a good compromise or agreement both beneficial for you and them.

I have a Mossberg model 185k bolt action 20 ga. shotgun.I bought it from a coworker and it was missing the bolt.I recently accquired a bolt assembly for it,but when I try to close the bolt handle it will not close.The bolt head has a steel lock ball in it that contacts the receiver when you try to close the bolt handle.Any suggestions?
ANSWER : The bolt you have acquired is either from a different model, or has been modified. With fire arms you are getting into dangerous territory, but I do suggest you have it looked at by a gunsmith. He will tell you what the problem is and you then make a decision based on that information.

Model 70 270 win will not eject spent shells where can i find parts for winchester model 70 xtr 270 win bolt
ANSWER : The ejector pin becomes flattened with sharp edges… it shaves brass, the brass helps stick the pin which is also penned out and a bit larger now. I took mine out and honed it so that it did not shave brass and would slide easily in the hole…. Make sure your spring is back in before you try the pin (You want something to push it back out). Most important… don’t let the pin and spring get away from you. You can look on a chambered and ejected cartridge to see exactly where the bras is being shaved from. In my case it was the very back, outer flange, indicating the ejector pin.Good luck … hint… really use your eyes

I just bought a Remington Model 742 Woodsmaster 30-06 at a large gunshow and noticed later that the bolt handle is only about 1/4 of an inch long, so it must have broken off at one point. Surely it was longer than that when new? How can I get a new one, and I need the manual and diagrams to take the rifle apart to fix that. Also there’s a plastic piece on the outside of the bolt, but just inside the gun. It slides with the bolt. Is this normal? The guys I bought it from said they took it deer hunting and that it shoots fine.
ANSWER : To remove the bolt, look at where the trigger enters the stock. There should be a little square/rectangle button right in front of it (inside the trigger guard, right in front of the trigger). Push that in and while holding it in, pull the bolt backwards (out). The bolt should come out pretty easy if you’re holding the button in. Most gun shops can order a new bolt. Likewise, many of them carry diagrams/manuals or can get them for you. You may also find one online for free if you hunt/peck enough. I’m not sure about the plastic piece you are referring to. My Remington is steel all the way. No plastic on the bolt anywhere. The other option is to take the bolt to Cabela’s or another gunsmith. Most of them (if they are competent) can repair the broken piece cheaper than buying a new bolt. They can also tell you if the plastic is normal. Just drop by with it and have them take a peek. estimates (and telling you if the plastic is normal) are usually free.
