I bolt .270 Broken Bolt?

[NV555]

After firing 10 rounds the bolt became stuck and then the bolt came apart in 2 parts. The part with handle/spring/firing pin came out and the the rest in the rifle.

Has anyone had the bolt in 2 parts?

Also does anyone know where a replacement bolt can be found?

Finding anyone that knows anything about this rifle has been a search for the holy grail.

I BOLT

I can't answer your question off the top of my head, but I will dig my I Bolt out tomorrow and see what holds it together.

I Bolt

Can you post a pic of the part that came out?
I have my I bolt on the bench now and there appears to be 3 main pieces to the bolt body; the main (forward section) containing the bolt face and lugs; the bolt handle which threads into the forward section and has the cocking ramp machined on the back face; and the shroud. I haven't tried to disassemble mine yet, I am still searching for a schematic to see what retains the shroud.
