    Gunsmithing Bolt sleeving

    Re: Bolt sleeving I'm with ya, C. I don’t think what happens aft of the lugs have much, if any, effect on the bullets journey from the breech to the target. Many have argued with me on this, but have not swayed my opinion. Three of the four rifles that won the 2006 TN state F/TR team...
