Thread: Toz 17 worthwhile seeking parts?

last mag i saw was $150, never seen a bolt for sale.
buy a 10/22 with a trigger job done on it, preferably an early one with metal trigger guard etc not the polymer version

a lot of jws are like that and everyone raves about them......

I have seen Toz 17-01 bolts (the longer type) quite often at gun shows in peoples boxes of odd gun parts.

If I see a bolt around I'll yell ya

Another excellent 22LR rifle is the Slazenger Lithgow Model 12. There's a single shot and a repeater. I grew up with the latter. My dad bought it as an 18yr old in the Air Force Cadets, Korea War era. Barrel reportedly made with WWII surplus Australian Lithgow 303 barrel stock. He held several small-bore Air-Force records with it. I still have it with original 6 rd mag and adjustable trigger. Found a genuine 10rd mag for it several years ago. Also got a couple of single shots for grandsons, like $80 each. Tackdrivers all. Open sights but very tempted to tap and drill and thread one. Love single shots

Ive got a repeater its had a rail put on it and is accurate as. Its my go to 22 these days, the annie has turned into a safe queen.

I have a 17-03 with mag and scope rings I plan on selling shortly.
It is in average condition. I only bought it as it was cheap and I wanted to ty one out but I'm not a fan of the cock on closing bolt.

GC has a parts gun for $99.

They have quite a few Toz-17 parts guns. Some are a tad dearer.

Good news!, previous owner of the Toz has found the bolt, and it has the same serial number as the rifle ( they had disposed of another Toz17 and worried that bolts were swapped!). Anyway now I can try it out. Thanks to everyone who replied with advice!

Lucky find. Moral of story, never separate a firearm from its critical parts.

gUNCITY HAVE A COUPLE OF CHEAP PARTS GUNS WITH THE PARTS YOU WANT

Post up a range report!

I have owned a Toz17 for over 40 yrs and furthermore had the late Paulus Manders a fit an adapter insert to the bell and hence fit one of his own brand suppressors
.Yep shes scoped too and I can tell you ive literally nailed hundreds of possums ,rabbits etc with it and its never ever let me down .
Why i even had parts for a 17 mag in my spares box which with a little DIY is now my stirling m14 mag- itself another much dismissed underrated outfit . Ok since you ask I also have the shorty 16"jw15 as my truck gun.

the TOZ stock was warped so i fitted the action to an old Stirling m20 stock a mate had laying round- agricultural but still bloody effective!yep the Toz stock is still under my hot wee hands as who knows . Its other endearing feature is its catholic taste in .22ammo -altho remington subs sounded like a certain green MP in the throes of ectasy and left a very bemused buck jacko looking at me "wtf-ya want me to put the wicketkeepers gloves on and return em" yup fuckers simpered and bounced their way toward him,until a screamer took his lights out!

even an ugly hammer will still drive in nails -
