Where to find an M3 bolt.

[usamark]

Where can I find a bolt for an M3? I don't need the carrier...just the rotating bolt head.

 

Brownells is the only place I've been able to find. That's how I found these forums.

 

Thanks for any help.

Give them a try.

I have a brand new complete bolt assembly and can send you pictures if you would like.

 

First, make me an offer I can't refuse.

I want this for a Stoeger 2000 with a beat up chrome bolt.

 

Is there a difference between the chromed and nonchromed bolts (I would think none)?

 

Is there a difference between the M1 and M3 bolts (I would also think no difference, but I'm not familiar with M1's)?

 

Should I get a new inertia spring while I'm at it?

 

Edited to add: I have looked through the e-gunparts Stoeger 2000 section and they mention gas operation parts (like 'o-rings' and 'Gas Hole Pistol Ring #1', so I'm not sure if the '2000' model number was used on a gas gun or what.

Is that what you're looking for?

I don't know. I have looked through those parts in the e-gunparts Stoeger 2000 section and they mention gas operation parts (like 'o-rings' and 'Gas Hole Pistol Ring #1') and do NOT show parts like the inertia spring, so I'm not sure if the '2000' model number was used on a gas gun as well or what.

 

The Stoeger I have is a M3 copy and is an inertia system gun. Without a picture of their part it's hard to tell.

 

The problem with my bolt is that the locking lugs are worn out on the locking surface. I think that the bolt is soft and that the real Benelli / Beretta parts would last longer.
