I have a Winfield sporter in excellent condition serial #5766 any information available? What is the price difference in the Winfield vs the straight military. Thanks so much.

Brian,
Do you know where I can get a bolt hold open catch? Do you know if Joseph Scott is well? Seems to be out of service for some time now. Thanks,
Errol

I have bolt catches but I have no assurance that one would work in your rifle. They were individually fitted and are still a mystery to me.

Brian,
Thanks for answering me. I can make it fit, I need one with as long a distance from the front of the block to the end of the tonge. I had one that was .560 but I need a longer one. I now have a very small welding torch that I can use to add material if necessary without messing up the spring. How much do you want and where do I send the check? You can email me directly at: av1cadet@arkansas.net
Thanks so much,
Errol

Joseph,
Do you have bolt latches for sale? If so how much? I tried one that measured .560 from the flat under the spring to the end. Not long enough for my sporter. Found a fellow who has one that is .640 but no spring. Do you have the spring? Thanks,

Joseph, As I said, I have a bolt catch but it is to short. It measures .560 from the flat under the spring to the opposite flat. The guy I bought it from has one that is .640 but it has no spring. You said that you have the springs. Ok, how do they attach? Do you have one that I can purchase? How much? The guy with these said that I should just weld some material on the end. Fine, but how do I protect the spring temper? Thanks for your help Errol

I tried to remove the rubber butt pad from my sporter; got the screws out, slotted, after much ado. Low and behold I can't get the pad off! It acts like it is glued on! Did they glue some of them on? If so, any ideas how to remove it without damaging anything? Thanks for the help.

Joseph, I have spent many hours trying to get a bolt catch to work correctly. It will not lift the long end enough to engage the notches in the bolt. I could weld some material on the short end, which would probably work, but how would it wear over time? If you have one for sale I would most likely be better off buying one from you. Please advise. I have tried to contact you before but it took some time to get me signed up on this site. I hope you are doing well. My rifle is a sporter and in excellent condition.

I found your excellent photo of the bolt catch. I have a sporter that doesn't have one. I just acquired one and put it in today. It will not hold the bolt back! I installed it three times holding the mag. door down. I also put in a tooth brush handle in the opening, checked the slot in the mag to make sure it was down. Put it back together and still wont' hold. I put a flashlight in the space behind the bolt, pushed the mag door down and let it go up. The latch moves down when I push the door down, up when I let go. Does the catch have to be bent up on the bolt engagement end or what? Thanks for your help. bigedac

Joe, I need two screws for my sporter. The bolt stop screw left side, and wood screw at rear of trigger guard. Do you have them? Thanks,
