Thread: 1912 vintage rifle

I have been trying to source a bolt for an old Belgium made single shot .22 that was made in 1912. Today I thought my luck was in. I made another of my rare inquiries at the local gun shop and the bloke said "You know I think we might just have one of those out the back!" He went to have a look and about five minutes later he returned with what I had only ever seen in pictures...A bolt for a Belgium .22 Brevete SGDG Model E 1912...Or so I thought. It wasn't until I got home and was able to attach it to the rifle that I found it was the right style but very obviously the wrong model...Ah well, I'll just have to go back and get my money back I think. The search continues...

try gunbrokers.com. they have some obscure stuff.

You might also try The Gun Parts Corp., it used to be Numrich Arms Corp., parts division.

Brevete SGDG .22 caliber single shot - TheFiringLine Forums

I came across that in my early searches too Bazz. I haven't tried the Gun parts Corp avenue. That's a new one. I have searched GunBrokers dot com every so often. Thanks for the ideas and help Gents...I sort of consider this one a long term project one way or the other. I just really want to know how this old bird will shoot and being small enough, it would also make a great learner rifle when my girls are older...Provided I have found success by then. Otherwise the search will continue and they will just have to learn on a new single shot bought specially for the purpose closer to the time.

the sad thing is there was probly 100's of those rifles floatin round aussie homes but due to buy backs and amnesties they become scarce , I'd ph around gunsmiths and hopefully ya get lucky and get a bolt no paperwork ..I rekon if ya find one with a dealer you'll need to buy the gun for the bolt then need permit to accuire ect
