Re: Got a question about bolt fluteing
I have found that going the PTG route is much better IMO. I broke the rem extractor firing Hornady match ammo so I decided to get a sako style extractor installed, and then decided might as well have the bolt face trued and etc(more$ and more$$). Long story short it is much cheaper and better to just get a PTG bolt that can be fluted anyway you want for 35 bucks, that is one piece, has a sako style extractor, and the diameter can be over sized so you can match the diameter of your receiver or have it machined to match the Diameter of the bolt. Also the dimensions are 10 times more consistent than a factory rem bolt.
You can get such a bolt from PTG for 125-$200 they have new this year an integral handle, I don't know much about this but I am hoping it is one that is machined from the bolt body
