At the time of the recall and for quite a while Sears was offering 150 dollars for the bolt. Even now they are offering more that the value of the shotgun in the form of a gift certificate. Also to take into consideration, if anyone were to sell or give you a bolt, knowing that it was recalled, they then place them self into a position of liability. You can find these bolt less shotguns all the time at the local gun shows and yard sales. They usually bring 25 to 35 dollars in new condition, why anyone would buy one, is beyond my understanding, I have seen numerous posing over the years from people bragging that they brought a shotgun for only 30 dollars and where can they find a bolt for it.
Davejohn, not dumping on you, it is just that your chances of finding a bolt is pretty remote, and even if you did, would you really want to use it?? I wouldn't.
