Aero Solus bolt fluting?

[PRSDietitian]

I havent examined a solus bolt. But is it possible to spiral flute the bolt or is there anything design related that would prevent this?

That would look good. I really wish they could offer a Solus 2.0 and it would have a nice heavy fluted bolt like the CDG. Just to fancy it up a little bit.

Maybe @John.Warren4 can give some insight...

I agree! I remember when they released the look of the action before it went on sale, I was thinking to myself it looks very similar to the aesthetics of the impact, but without a fluted bolt.

Might fit what you're looking to do while keeping the nitride treatment, the LW in particular looks like a nice place to start for a hunting rig.

Funny that you mentioned this! I posted about this on another thread that I had. I am getting one of these as soon as primary arms starts carrying them so that I don’t have to worry about shipping.

I wish they would offer the .223.

I emailed yesterday to inquire, see if they return an answer.

I don't know how you would go about it on the old bolts, there is no way I see it would wrap the entire bolt body.

Edit, I was told mid year on a 223 and first quarter on available .540" bolt heads, then second one hasn't happened.

That would be awesome on the mid year, really hope it's a 16.5 barrel

I’d be all about a 16.5” .300 BLK with a 1:5 or 1:7 twist in a chassis. Then I could sell my Ruger American Ranch .300 BLK that has never really impressed me that much.
