    M14/M1A stock question.

    Re: M14/M1A stock question. Why not acetone? I have used it for years refinishing stocks that had oil, cosmoline, grease etc... Not trying to argue, just curious why you say not to use it? Soap will definitely do the job but acetone will cut that time in half at least. Both will pull the...

    Gunsmithing Is it possible to switch bolts????

    Re: Is it possible to switch bolts???? As stated above, It is not going to matter IF you are rechambering the rifle. Just get a replacement bolt and send it with the rifle for your smith to use while doing the barrel / caliber change. He can make any adjustments needed to fit the bolt.
