Hi Y'all,
A long time ago I had a nice 23B...money got tight and I sold it. So years later in my search for another one I ran across a stripped action / barrel, a late model with the 3 screws on the top rear bridge. The S/N is 2135xx. The price was right and there wasn't a 23B to be found at the time, so I picked it up for nostalgia's sake. In the meantime, I've added a NOS magazine and a Savage 15 rear peep sight to my parts inventory.
I need everything for this little rifle, except for these 3 parts. I know I have a 'late' model, but don't know the differences between a lot of the early and late parts. For example, if I can find a bolt, how do I i.d. it? I know the triggers are different. I think the stock is different because of the change in mag release styles. Anybody have any suggestions on how and where to find parts, or how to identify the correct ones?
Pictures of late 23B's in or out of their stocks would be really appreciated to help me weed out the parts I need.
