Kodiak Model 260 22wmr?????
« on: September 18, 2009, 04:58:51 AM »
I need a little help here I have a Kodiak model 260 semi-auto that shoots the winchester 22mag RF. Of course it has problems with ejection of spent cases, ther could be parts missing. I have looked through Numrich catalog and can't find any reference. I need a print and probably some parts. Can anyone give me a clue as to where to go from here.
Thanks!

As I recall they never worked all that well even when new which is kinda why they didn't last long on the market.

When everyone else said you could not make a .22 Mag semi auto, Kodiak said, "We can." They did, but how well is a matter of history. Others have them now and none too many. Kodiak wilted and died (as Mr. 'beard suggests)... SO you are into that vast wasteland of "parts"... I have relied for years on hard copy of Shotgun News. (Shotgunnews.com if not on your newstand.)  Therein there are ads by people/firms that stock a little of everything. You have to hunt, for the firm and for the part. SARCO (of NJ) comes to mind but I was seeking Mauser 98 parts. (Got a barrel from WW I, 29 inches, never mounted.) Kodiak? Never looked. Gun Parts is the biggest and very good service and price reflects same. If they don't list it, hone your hunting skills. Any gun show is another option. No telling what is laying about cheap. (Junk collectors.) And you can "net search", google, dogpile, startpage, yahoo, etc. No telling what any will turn up. Hope you are not in a hurry. Luck.

Below are a few links you may find helpful. The rifle evidently was also made in 22lr and some were sold by Colt as the Colteer! The 22lr version has the bolt handle on the right side and attached to the bolt ala the 10/22. The 22mag verion used an operating handle on the left side and the recoil spring under the barrel, wrapped around the magazine tube. Below is a discussion of the mag version and further info. Also a link to GunPArtsCorp who clain to have various parts and diagrams.. This was found with a google search.. Good luck

Some the diagrams for the Colt version are available and may help..

IIRC, the Kodiak .22 Mags were made by Jefferson, with early versions marketed under that name - so you might want to search under that name also.
