Hello!
After spending a morning on the phone, I have come to the conclusion that I MAY have to send my Chipmunk rifle out to a Smith to have a bolt built.
Following a rather nasty divorce, I recieved my firearms back from my ex father-in-law, who had them stored while I was on Active Duty. However, during my absence, the bolt to my son's first firearm, a Chipmunk .22, went missing. The ex f-i-l says he has NO clue where the bolt went, so, now I have a firearm thats basically unusable. I called Crickett, Inc., who bought out the Chipmunk model line, and spoke to a host of people there about the missing part, and, NO ONE could find me a replacement part. In fact, one of the manufacturing foreman said that they do not have that part in their inventory.
So, does anyone know where I can find parts for this great little rifle? Or, how much would a shop charge to actually make me a bolt? Its a shame that this rifle is unusable...I have a stepdaughter that I am getting into the shooting sports, and, this rifle would be perfect for her! Any thoughts you may have would be greatly appreciated!
