Re: Funky or what?

Well I am a Shithead but I like the look of it ... would be neat to have a barrel done that way I think
 
Re: Funky or what?

Its pretty cool how ythe cuts are made but for a bolt....meh. What about painting them? I think the finish makes it look strange

Not sure what the question is? Coating them would be no problem. Would look pretty cool on a barrel. Hmmmmm. Paul.

Re: Funky or what?

Looks like savage bolts to me. Thats sweet lookin, it would look kick ass on a barrel, how much weight could be shaved off verses deep fluting?

Minimal weight savings as the flats are very shallow. Just eye candy, if somebody wanted something different. Would look very cool on a barrel. Coated in matte black would look sweet.

Re: Funky or what?

I like the looks of them. Would put one on my savage. A barrel like that would be the cats ass.
 
Re: Funky or what?

I like that a lot more than grooved fluting. I've had the milled fluting common to PTG bolts suck in the lip of a couple AICS mags and pooch them to where I needed to mess with them to get them to properly feed again.
 
Re: Funky or what?

Kind of interested in seeing it in the action, may not have that odd look with the action blocking off some of the ends.
 
Re: Funky or what?

Looks pretty cool. I'd like to see a rifle with a barrel cut like that. Matte black would be pretty badass.
 
Re: Funky or what?

I like them a lot, just finished a savage build that bolt would look awesome with
 
Re: Funky or what?

I'd to see what they look like painted as well.

Here's an idea....can you do a "Golf Ball" pattern?

I really like the looks. I would love to see a dimpled golf ball pattern too!
 
Re: Funky or what?

Wow,

Thanks for all the great feed back guys.

I think I need to do a test barrel so we can check it out. Anybody have a pic of the golf ball style handy? Thanks again.

Re: Funky or what?

someone does barrels like this, i just cant recall who. it was a twisted picket looking, wrought iron look. they also did octagonal and a few other patterns. i dont wanna swear, but i think it was black hole? i liked it and these look good, but id get the wide round bottom flutes on mine, just my preference

If you could do bolt and barrel in Golf ball...sign me up.
 
Re: Funky or what?

I like the look of it but not on a rifle's bolt. On a motorcycle hell yeah.
 
Re: Funky or what?

I think those would look awesome on a shined up benchrest rig but I'd probably go more low key on a tactical setup. The idea is awesome and they are definitely unique.

Hey Guys,

I will get a pic of the bolt installed in the action, as soon as they arrive home.
