pre-64 270 winchester feather weight

Pre-64 270
Hello all,

This is my first post and need some help please. I have a pre-64 270 that the safety lever has broken. It is on "fire" so I can use the gun. The problem is that the lever is broken off in the bolt. I got the gun in this condition. I am not sure how it broken off. My question is, can I get a new safety lever or do I need the entire bolt? Also were might I find such item? I have read that the 1990 270 has the same safety and will that work? Any info would help.

Thank you

    Kevin,
    Welcome to the forums. Call Steve at 214-802-0592, it's a Texas number, so allow for time diference. Steve is one of the best sources I've found for pre 64 parts.
    Find a competent gunsmith, not a in the garage goober, and have him replace the safety lever. Where do you live in Washington? I may be able to steer you toward a good gunsmith.

    like cm said find a good smith, fitting a new safty is very critical. while I haven't compaired parts, a safty off a new m-70 MAY work as they are very similar.

    Yes, I live in Washington State, 1/2 hour south of Olympia, the capital. I will give Steve a call on Monday and see what he has to say. Just so I am clear there isn't a way just to slip a new safety in, it has to be fitted? This is great thank you for the help!

I am just very thrilled, I was talking to people around here and I was looking at HUNDREDS of dollars to have this fixed, now I am looking at under a hundred, how great is that!! Again thank you![:D]

    That is great, he is really close to me. I even called him to see if he had a safety. He said he could make one but, money money money!
