This is probably one of the few forums that I believe a member may have an extra CZ 550 Magnum bolt sitting in the gun room. I can use a .640 boltface or smaller. I bought a stripped CZ 550 magnum reciever at auction and am now doing the interstate garage sale and internet search required to find all the pieces.

Please if you have something PM the details.

Thanks in advance!!

If you had to choose one Outdoor Show in the U.S. to attend in 2027, which would you choose: the Great American Outdoor Show, SCI, DSC, or HSC? Or is there another show to consider?

I have had some requests for pictures of my AHR DGR in the diminutive .550 Magnum. It is incredibly balanced. The business end is laughable even to look at. I have 300 pieces of brass, including 100 rounds of loaded ammo from Neal Shirley ( the creator of the .550).

I know Krish is interested in building one and I am anxiously awaiting squirrel season.
