Hello All,
Recently I met a gentleman who acquired 2 bolts and a trigger 20+ years ago that he believes to belong to target rifles but is not 100% sure. He has taken them to gun shows with him but has never had any luck. I told him that I would try my hand at finding more information. Any information you all can give would be appreciated.

Re: Identifying parts
The trigger looks to be from a Walther KKM. Going by the shape of the trigger blade this is a 1960s-early '70s version. It might even by 1950s manufacture.
I don't recognise either bolt. These are not from any of the common .22 target rifles.

Re: Identifying parts
I poked around Google Image Search looking for as many different brands of old rimfire rifles as I could think of and wasn't able to find a clear match for either. I found a few that got close: the non-serialized one looks close to some of the older Winchester bolts I found but the proportions and extractors weren't quite right. Winchester made a ton of different models in that era, so I'd have no trouble believing that you have one of the many variants. But nothing I found was a match.
You might try posting over on Rimfire Central? If those bolts are the same vintage as your trigger, there's a whole host of rifles that it may have come from, some more well known than others.
