Winchester 67 Bolt Repair | Weld and replate a worn Bolt Action Rifle

- A little welding on a firearm is sometimes all that's needed to bring back reliability. Watch as I strip the original, worn plating from the bolt, weld up the worn parts and re-plate the bolt in this Winchester Model 67. Antique firearm restorations can be a fun learning experience!

I have one excellent dead on shooter it is. Was in my Grandpa's house ( Dad's side ) and we'd get it to shoot frogs in the reservoirs for frog legs. We'd also cruise the open country roads in the evenings, Dad sitting on the front fender of our '56 Chevy as my Mom slowly drove till he'd tell her to stop and shoot cotton tails. Then I'd go fetch 😅 I'm 69 now and MEMORIES 😢 But I have the rifle now which I refinished in '67/68 for the Hell of it with a Birchwood Casey kit. Still looks good today, not bad for a teen 😂
I love to hear these kinds of stories! I hope you get to enjoy it for many more years and get to pass it on to someone who will appreciate it as much as you. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for watching too!

Nice little bit of welding there! Came out good.
Thanks 👍 It now works like it should. I need to make it look like it should next! Thanks for watching Santee!
Great job Richard!! That was so satisfying to watch. What a tack driver as well. I love guns like this. Simple, beautiful with lots of character. Thanks for bringing us along.
It was fun to tinker with too. I keep my eyes peeled for the ones that need rescued. Thanks for watching Snapper!
Great video, I have one of these old guns. Very accurate inspite of the horrible trigger. Grandson & I challenge ourselves shooting spent shotshells off top of fenceposts at various distances. Great fun.😎🇦🇺👌
With somewhere over half a million of these things made in their 30 year run, they had to be doing something right. We know it wasn't the trigger! Thanks for watching!
Man I hate to hear that. I've got my grandpa's old 67 and recently bought another one and they bought have better than average triggers .
They're not the worst triggers I've ever felt, just not the best. Great rifles anyway.@@richardcarpenter-jo5ej
thank you for the video. my first rifle was a 67 was given it in 1965. loved that rifle gave it to my son he still has it and uses it regularly.
Very simple rifles, and they're great shooters too. Hopefully he can pass it on as well. Thanks for watching!
I have on and it's one of the most accurate rifles I have ever shot. It was my grandfather's and he died in 1957. I doubt he put 50 rounds through it. I've had it since then and just recently I refinished it. The stock is made of fine wood and took the refinishing rather well. The stripping and re-blueing went smoothly. Now it's just a beautiful, simple, old gun. I'll never sell it, but I do shoot it and I get compliments at the range for how nice it looks. Thanks, grandpa.
That's very cool! It's nice to have an old firearm like that, especially one with a family connection. They are great rifles and I hope you get to pass it on to someone else that will appreciate it as much as you do. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done! The stripping and plating part brings back memories of my time working in an anodizing shop. Nastiest job I ever had.
I've heard some of those processes can be pretty bad. Thanks for watching!
You've been having entirely too much fun lately! Lol. Im happy for ya. Seem to really be enjoying what you have going on.
I have always enjoyed tinkering and working on things. Thanks for watching!
I have had varying results with the Oxpho Blue so I use the Perma Blue now and get better results
I'd eventually like to try the traditional method of rust bluing. I've got my tank built, I just need to finish the burner and stand for it.....someday! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Richard, learned alot and it looks great
I've still got a lot more to learn myself! Thanks for watching!
You made welding look easier than I'm sure it was. Glad you ordered the foot pedal.
30 years of welding has taught me a thing or two, I just have to adapt what I know about welding, to gun parts now! I just haven't received the pedal yet, I'm sure it's in the middle of the ocean somewhere right now. Thanks for watching Squib!
Thanks for another great video. I own 3 or those Winchester 67 rifles. 2 that were rough and I did some amateur restoration, and one in pretty nice original condition. If I remember correctly, your Winchester 67 video was the first one I watched on your channel.
That video was quite a while ago! I've been keeping it around until I got a chance to fix the old gal up! (I'm a little slow getting to the projects) Thanks for sticking with me for so long!
Nice video, please restore the rest of the rifle for us!
I probably will. I'm thinking of trying a little stock checkering on it too!
Nice work Richard.
Thanks!
That bolt looks real good.
Much better than when I bought it!
my buddy just sold his and he had the same problem. thanks
Aww, he could have fixed it.
Try Brownells Dicropan T4 next time on the bolt . I think you'll be pleased.
I'd like to try many different products to see what works best on what parts, including the traditional methods. Thanks for watching!
Good video
Thanks!
Looks like you'll have to refinish the stock :)
Yep, I believe you are correct! Thanks for watching!
Very nice 😁👍🇺🇸... Midway 👍
Thank you! 👍👍👍
Great video 👍. I have a question. I have a Winchester model 58 single shot .22 from the early 1930s. Bolt seems like it locks up tight against the cartridge rear. I replaced the firing pin spring and the other spring that goes inside the knurled cocking knob with factory reproduction springs. Problem is the bolt when fired goes forward with very little force where it doesn't detonate the .22 LR cartridge. There's a vague detent on the cartridge rear. You can see that the firing pin mechanism goes forward with very little force. Any suggestions of what maybe the issue ? I believe its locking up tight against the cartridge rear. Thank you for your opinion.
I'm not familiar with the model 58 bolt, it looks similar to the model 67, but the internals look a little different. I'm just going by some pictures I found on line. I don't know if maybe the spring in yours is weak or maybe from a different rifle and not the right length or proper tension. Without actually looking at it, it's really hard to say.
I'm thinking I was sent the wrong firing pin spring because it fits pretty loosely in the bolt. I seen where the spring needs to be compressed some to put the roll pin in to hold it in place, not the case with mine. I'm gonna experiment some with a variety of gun springs I have and see what I can do to make it work. Thank you for your response and I subscribed to your fine channel. 👍
Yeah, I believe you are correct. You should have to compress it a bit for it to work properly.@@slammer7625
Soft mild steel isnt going to last long as a locking surface, even just cycling the bolt without firing will wear it down pret5y fast, its basically an unfinished part that has been fitted up but not heat treated.
You think a little hardfacing filler would help? Maybe a 55FC-O .035? I know it's a flux core wire but I'd feel more comfortable TIGing in in place. I'm not having any luck finding a solid core wire in that size.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview case harden the locking surface after fitting it up properly with a headspace gauge.
@@snowflakemelter1172 you ever use Cherry Red case hardening compound?
Think you might need some training on that 67 lol.
Thanks for watching!
very cool
Thank you!
