    Cone Breech Rifles - Any cheap examples?

    Having trouble sourcing a cone breech rifle that's not an 03A3, P17, or Win Model 70/70CL. I'm not looking to spend too much, and only need it to work on in a gunsmithing vocational program I am taking. Anyone know of any specific models? Crossing my fingers someone will say (Mosin) lol.

    Bergara's apparently come with cone bolts and Remington spec tenons. No idea why. Not exactly cheap though.

      You can order a coned bolt from Pacific Tool and Gauge for a 700 Remington if you already have a action. Complete they run $300 but if all you need is a bare bolt they are under $200.
      You can also sell it on eBay if you don't need it later for what you paid. The advantage is you get to install the extractor of your choice and the firing pin assembly as well. I just put 3 together with very few tools other than a punch for the trigger pins.
      I have a screenshot of what you want but for some reason it won't let me post a picture today

        Why not the 03? You'll get practice with square threads as well.

          Mosin is a sorta reverse cone breech because of the extractor cut:

            I ended up going with a sporter 03A3, now I just need a mauser 98 and several barrels/stocks.

            Thanks all!

            Re: myosins reverse cone, huh, I woulda not thunk that.

              In your original post you mentioned it was for a gunsmith course?
              The coned barrel will most likely be done on a lathe while the extractor cut will most likely be milled so your instructor probably wants it as a teaching aid.
              And for those looking Pacific Tool sells bolts for Stiller actions with a coned bolt face for under $200 if you have something like a Predator action.
