Need to find Ruger 10/22 Bolt

So here the story:  a few years ago I upgraded my Ruger bolt to a Kidd bolt, and got an aftermarket threaded barrel, etc. Shot that rifle so much the scope screws got loose, so when a DEAL popped up on a nicer Feddersen barrel, I had to upgrade the receiver to a Kidd as well…but now the old barreled action is going to secondary use, and I can't find the original Ruger bolt. 
Only thing I've found in stock is at Brownells and is $183 for a "Grey Birch" that I've never heard of before. 
Anyone know of somewhere else I can find a fairly normal bolt?   Brownells is OOS (out of stock) and has been for a while

Thanks!

There are multiple original 10/22 bolts for sale on eBay. They go for about $90 as a "Buy It Now"... Or if you like to try and get one cheaper on auction, they start bidding at about $50.
I don't always shoot AQT's, but when I do, I prefer iron sights.

Tandem cross makes a aftermarket bolt with upgraded firing pin and extractor https://www.tandemkross.com/KrossFire-CNC-Machined-Bolt-for-Ruger%C2%AE-1022%C2%AE-by-RimEdge_p_248.html

They also sell a extended charging handle that i really like.

I own two of them no real issues after two years of being used in loaners

Thanks, I'll try that.  I've had a search up to alert me, but hadn't seen anything yet…maybe I've set it up wrong.  Will try again.

Yeah, I'd love to have one of those, but they're also out of stock like everyone else - even the ones they sell on Brownells.  Thanks though!!

eBay. Do a quick search for ‘10/22 bolt'.  All manner of bolts will pop up including factory bolts. I bought several over the years off eBay. It's a good place to find anything for a 10/22 except the receiver.

They have been coming in and out of stock very regularly at Midway. I signed up for stock alerts and was able to get one about 10 days ago for a lot cheaper than what they go for on ebay, if you just want a factory bolt.
