G’Day Team,
Asking for a mate - no, really.
He was shooting an F Class practice at the weekend and blew a primer, which broke his extractor and damaged the bolt face. He tells me he is having dramas contacting Barnard to discuss a fix or replacement. Does anyone know what’s going on or where he might find a new bolt?
155 grain bullet at just over 3000 May have been a bit hot!
Cheers
Probably better off buying a new action with the price bolts seem to be, maybe one of the nz smiths that deals with Barnard would be the best help they will no the anwsers and the route to go down
Over the past few years Barnard seem to have become very difficult to contact. At least that's my perception. Also their web site disappeared for ages but has reappeared.
Your mate could try to contact them via a website enquiry. No guarantee of course that they will reply.

Last time I bought a Barnard action (a few moons ago now) it ran around 1700 bucks, so buying a complete action will not be cheap, or most likely not necessary.
They sell bolts as I'm aware of guys purchasing them when needing to change to a magnum bolt face.
Bernard - LoL. Bloody autocorrect.
Thanks for the replies guys. He has emailed, but no reply so far.
Cheers
Where is your mate? If in Oz tell him to contact the Ox agent Mathew Paroz at LRP Solutions.
He’s in Canberra.
Thanks for that - I will pass it on to him.
Well, good luck is all I can say. This might tell you something- if an official Barnard reseller here, and various members of the the national FO team can't get any response from Barnard, I wouldn't be holding my breath. A miracle might occur though. It's a real shame (in every sense) that such a good product has no support. I actually had an American FO shooter contact me in desperation for a basic part.Quote:

Dang, I was wanting to get an SM or SMS. Chris, have you got anything in your safe with a repeating action you want to sell me? :D
No spare repeaters sorry Kurt. Only a trued 40X.
We were hoping to see you out the range at some stage. You have potential :)
I need a new rifle first
That ? Creedmore you had shot well. Or was it a .308?
The CM shoots really well for a factory Remington but I'm ready to get a bit more serious again
Contact Tony at TenpointOne. He works directly with Barnard and will most probably be the only person that will be able to assist.
@Kurt I know where a nitrided fluted SM right hand action is and it might still be for sale. if you are serious flick me a PM
@johnd PM'd
That rates with having a dedicated phone line to god Jaco.. :yaeh am not durnk:Quote:

Do they not answer their 'phone? +64 (0)9 828 4819
Its odd that Tony does not respond. His generally very good at answering messages
That's 09.. number must be Barnard themselves, or more correctly their ex number. You will die of old age ringing that.
Tony of TenPointOne is in Wgtn.

Sad. I guess when he says one of "our" F-Class guys he's referring to someone in the states, not NZ
No he is a Kiwi & there are a few rumors floating aroundQuote:

Well, getting close to beta testing. At least there will be a local option that will be compatible with the old footprint.

I beleive Glacier rifles were making receivers close to a Barnard design but with no interchangeable parts with the real thing.
If some one has a Barnard model S receiver , right hand , 308 bolt face for sale, I am interested.
