Hi folks, an update on the shilen. By a pure fluke I came across a new old stock dga pin. I've just fitted it and am off to the range tomorrow to see if all is ok. Again I've learned loads from this post, thanks.

Thanks, I'll have a look something like that.

That's interesting thanks for that. It would make life easier if that works. I can take the info with me, I know a couple of machine guys, I'll have to see if they would like a challenge.

I can't. I was at a shoot last week and the bolt wouldn't close after the fifth round, after advice etc I found the pin broken. However when it runs it's a fantastic shot.

That's good information thanks. Hopefully I will get it sorted, it shoots so good I don't really want to change it.

Okay thanks, I will look along those lines. Hopefully something will sort it, be a real shame not to use it again. Happy new year

Well the advice worked (never mind a couple of skinned knuckles lol). So the pin is broken, the 700 Remington name is used a lot, would that pin be a replacement or is it similar but different sort of thing?

Hi there, thanks for the update, I will try that.

Hi Folks, New to this forum. I shoot a custom built single feed f-class Shilen .308 DGA. Old, yes, but I think its a great firearm, unfortunately I still find it had gathering any info about the rifle especially the age of it. I came across my first issue in 5years with the rifle yesterday...
