Springfield Parade Rifles - used - for sale
These are very simple replicas, with very simple parts that somewhat replicate the bolt-action of the real thing. All of these survivors have missing parts, and the price will reflect that. Here is what we have left [see below for information on missing parts]:
None of the missing parts are terribly difficult to
replicate. Here is a list of which parts are missing from any particular gun, how many
guns we
have in that condition, and the sales price:
spring, trigger, trigger guard (quantity
- 1)
$25
spring, bolt, trigger, trigger guard (quantity - 2)
$22
and lastly;
1 stock with just the housing (trigger and bolt action
assemblies and barrel stub gone) $3
OR BUY ALL FOUR OF THEM FOR ONLY $50 ! That's a twenty-two dollar savings!
Here is a photo to give you an idea of what they look like with some of the parts missing. The one above was missing the spring, bolt and trigger guard.
The one below is that $ 3 stock, missing everything (including the barrel stub) except the housing where the bolt-action assembly should go.

I'm not sure if you can see it from this photo, but most of the metal parts have a good amount of rust and the wood needs refinishing. This is what it looks like with all of the parts complete and assembled.
These replicas are comprised of a basic wooden stock, trigger assembly, bolt-action assembly on top, and a stubby barrel at the end.
The trigger assembly is the trigger
itself plus the trigger guard that goes around it.
The bolt-action assembly has a lot more going on. It is
comprised of [from the top down]
* machine screw
* carriage tube
* lever
* bolt
* spring
* housing
The housing is screwed right into the wood stock (not
shown). Then the
carriage tube slips into the lever.
The spring goes into the tube, followed by the plastic
bolt.
The completed bolt-action assembly slides into the housing (already attached to
the wood stock).
Finally, the machine screw (threaded 1/4 20) goes into the
hole on the carriage tube, keeping the entire assembly from falling out, and
allowing for the sound and visual of moving the action open and close.
