I recently lent my gun out and they lost the entire Bolt Assembly to my Marlin XT-22. I can't seem to locate a complete bolt assembly. Can someone tell me if Other Bolts work on this RIfle, or where I could buy a replacement Bolt. Please and thanks.

You're in a bit of a pickle. The bolts and receivers of XT 22 rifles are not interchangeable.


This is from the Marlin Website.

WARNING! Only use the original bolt within your firearm. Do Not attempt to insert or use a bolt on any firearm which was not purchased with the firearm . Damage to the firearm, serious personal injury, and /or death may result from an improperly matched bolt and receiver combination.

Don't waste your time or money. Give your rifle back to those who lost your bolt and have them buy you a new XT-22 replacement.
I did find you a 781 complete bolt for $79 first bid plus s/h. Need to ask a knowledgeable gunsmith about the crossover. First of this
year I found a Marlin 22 mag bolt on ebay too cheap to pass; I didn't even have a need for it. A month later found a Marlin 22 mag rifle
for bid missing the bolt. Perfect fit and function and now have a super cheap shooter. Sometimes lawyer warnings don't mean that much.

All about head space, best to have 'smith check it out if you find a replacement bolt, call Marlin about a new bolt, you will have to send the rifle in. I would replace the rifle with a new XT, save yours, a source of spare parts AND learn your lesson about lending a gun.

poopsicles, It's like this gun is cursed. First The Bolt handle breaks then I fix it and now this. I guess I will have to buy a new one and use this as spare parts or just have it until I find the bolt. Thanks guys, I'm gonna see how much it would cost me to send it back to marlin being that I bought it from a private seller I hope they don't ask for warranty papers etc. Yea....Lesson Learned.

Since you furnished the story, please explain WHY that person isn't responsible for making it right ?? Something doesn't add up.
