Hi
Could anyone help? And tell me the model and date of my Krico 22lr. The bolt that is shown with the rifle won't fit would anyone have a correct bolt.
Cheers, Heath.

@Nzcoup1 The bolt is from a 50's - early 60's model 300, same as what I have. The rifle looks later, maybe 70's onwards as it has the diecast trigger guard. Is there a two digit number stamp on the left side of the action or barrel? As some were date stamped just as BRNO, eg 71 for 1971. Also is the mag a banana shape? This would indicate 70's.
After having a google, it could well be a 400 sporter version. Similar to this https://www.gunsamerica.com/91693058...Shot-Rifle.htm
Hi Mathias
No digits on the left hand side, and the trigger guard is made of a black nylon/plastic material
Have included photo's of the markings.

Same markings as one of the photos in that link. After a bit of searching, I came on to this link https://www.pmulcahy.com/bolt-action...n_ba_spr_k.htm. Maybe of some help, as reading this makes yours more likely to be a variation of the Model 300. Bloody shame its missing the bolt, as they are a brilliant piece of Germany workmanship and yours looks very pretty.
Just one more example of why NOT to store the bolt separate from the rifle.
Thanks Mathias
Managed to get into that link and looks spot on.
Cheers
For secerity purposes ALL my bolts are stored seperate to their rifles. In 57 years I have never lost a bolt/forgotten to get it out and take it with a rifle to hunt.Quote:

@Nzcoup1 are you willing to sell the pictured bolt? I coincidently have been given a Krico which I'm pretty sure is a model 300 that is missing its bolt.
Hi Tom
Sorry mate sold rifle and bolt together.

Yep it sure is the same, nice rifles. Mines had a bit of a hard life it was a farmers rifle for killing injured stock and it wasn't looked after that well. The barrel is good inside and it shoots ok with hunting ammo, it cost me a boned out deer so not much. I have shot a lot of small game with it as I used it a lot night shooting in the Pest Board Days.
Mine is very accurate on par with my Anschutz 1420 54m.
