I have a pre 64 National Match action that needed a new bolt. The firing pin hole had enlarged and I believe there might have been another problem or two. Anyway I ordered a Wisner bolt. Now the bolt requires a real gunsmith to do the final fitting. I do not have the tools or expertise to do that, but since the rifle was going through a rebuild, I sent the bolt to Randy Gregory Medford WI 54451 715-748-4427 to have a new barrel and the bolt installed. Along with a lot of other work. Anyway, the bolt has served me fine. But, it is not drop in, remember that.
Well, the reason I ask is because I have a very nice pre-64 barreled receiver with no bolt whatsoever. So I would have to buy the whole thing, every part, plus a trigger.
I noticed on the website that it states that the bolt has to be fitted by Wisners, which would be fine with me.

I would look at it more like I would get to have the bolt fitted by Wisner. He is a riflemaker's rifle maker, and is arguably the leading authority on the technical details of the pre-64 model 70...
We are currently in the long process of updating our website. With over 1500 lines in the catlalog section, this is a long process.
Sorry to say I no longer have any pre 64 M70 triggers or bolt bodies left. I have fitted the last two bodies in the past few months and simply do not know IF I will be making any more.
All good things will come to an end sooner or later.
