Re: Bolt handle reinforcement
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: DocEd</div><div class="ubbcode-body">flyboy, if you anneal the rear of the bolt, where the cocking piece cams up on cocking, you will have problems with the cocking piece gauling when cocking. The proper heat treating, of the rear of the bolt, is just as important as the heat treating of the lugs. </div></div>
I stand corrected. The point I was trying to make is the force from firing the rifle isn't placed on the rear of the bolt but the area around the lugs.
