Thread: winchester model 70 XTR FWT Trigger guard / Custom parts

Hi all, i am currently working on this rifle and need to replace a broken trigger guard, the part doesn't seem to exist and i want to avoid paying huge amounts of money getting a custom CNC one made. any and all advice appreciated. cheers.

Could that one be repaired ? Looks complete

pity your on the other island..I have one here. @SmokeyJason might have one too ,if hes in the country.

how much do you want for it? im kinda stuck without. happy to pay shipping of course

its made out of some sort of cast alloy, have asked a couple of tig welders. they reckon it wont weld.

buggered if I know......how about we let forum decide???

one thing for certain,if you want it you will need to do the police paperwork etc and hurry up as if leave it for 13 more days it triggers registration process

have spoken with Gun City Christchurch, they informed me that a police form is not needed for a guard but if you still wanted one i am sure i can sort something or find somebody i know down there to pick it up. i can order one from the states but will cost me approx $140-$250 so would you consider $200?

you get it picked up and you can have it for $75 and my good will attached. gun shitty wont bail you out of the brig if they are wrong.

job done...will get it away to the man in next week......
see dear all those bits of "stuff" DO actually come in handy for someone one day...

Looks like a common problem with these. Mine was cracked when I bought it( a bad tm purchase)
I couldn’t find one anywhere and ended up putting one off an older model on but it’s not right.
Any ideas on anyone that made them. I found a place in the states that had the whole bottom metal and a stock as well but they won’t ship out of America

Good on ya Micky 👍

Years ago with my old featherweight I put on an Oberndorf bottom metal from Pacific Tool & Gauge who were great to deal with

Was about to offer up the bottom metal from my beloved (but rarely used) .270 XTR Featherweight... to get the aforementioned CNC copy made, but that could cost more than the US version, and definitely more than $75, so sounds like you're sorted. Good ol' MD to the rescue! Love this place.
