Thread: Weatherby Vanguard bolt stop whoopsie

Hi Guys. Recently acquired Weatherby Vanguard .308 on trademe. Forum member put me onto it. Got it for great price. Hasn't been fired for 8 years, in really great nick. My young fellah picked it up, for him anyway. He stripped it as instructed. Discovered that bolt stop screw sheared in half and stop spring missing. Not going to mention it or kick up a fuss as bargain price anyway. Question though; has anyone else had a similar issue? If so how did you fix it? Looks like a real bitch to get sheared bolt out.
Cheers
