gunsmithing question?

[900ss]

You are most welcome, I'm glad to be able to help resurrect your piece.

I'll pop these 7 in the mail. Please let me know when she is fully functional again!

[900ss]

10 pieces are in today's mail, mailed from Campbell. I hope these work for you.

Once again, thank you Ken !

here are the raw pieces, and after quite a bit of hand fitting, the extractor, in the bolt head, in the gun

I now realize this rifle takes 22 short, the 22lr snap cap would not fit in the chamber.

I can not wait to try this, and the Stevens 1899 "Favorite" out at the range

[900ss]

Very cool indeed! Now find 9 other owners with broken extractors!

[GPzPop]

minor update, apparently, the rifle is NOT 22 short, as the cartridge will not chamber - its too fat around

maybe it's some other weird turn of the century (1900's) rimfire cartridge idk

If I cared, someday I need to chamber cast it

a safe queen for now

I don't know if you can find them anymore but for 22 rimfire there was the 22 short, 22 long, and everyone's favorite 22 long rifle. maybe you have a 22 long chamber.

[berth]

22 Long should be able to chamber a 22 Short.

Kind of the magic of 22 revolvers and bolt actions is that they can shoot a wide variety of ammunition that way. Semi-autos require the power of a 22 Long Rifle to cycle, but the others don't.

[900ss]

It sounds from his description that the rifle may be a smaller calibre ...."too fat around" (diameter less than a .22).

Here's a partial list of rimfire calibres from Wikipedia:
List of rimfire cartridges by calibre.

2.34mm
4mm
.14 Alton Jones
.17 Mach 2
.17 Hornady Magnum
.17 PMC/Aguila
.17 Winchester Super Magnum
5mm
5 mm Remington Rimfire Magnum
.22 Short
.22 Long
.22 Extra Long
.22 Long Rifle
.22 WMR
.22 WRF
.22 ILARCO
.22 CB
.22 BB

[Sharxfan]

there isn't a roll mark on the barrel?

[GPzPop]

it is roll stamped "cal 22"

???

[Sharxfan]

Well then you would think the most popular round would fit then....... Damn doesn't leave you a lot of options other than Googling. Maybe a serial number search could find the caliber it truly is?

Instead of casting the chamber, how about using precision gauge pins to gauge the chamber? If you don't have any I could pop a few in the mail, say nominal through +/-.005".

SAAMI show chamber dimensions from .2267Ø to .2307"Ø nominal, match and sporting.
