    338 Lapua bolt face AI actions can be a chore to tear down.

    That box got checked late yesterday.

    Nutshell: Bolt slides into block with lug clearances machined so that the bolt body is captured by the ring. Stand in a press, insert a drift, start masturbating the jack handle on the press, "POP", and then you can tap it out easily and without drama. Save a whole lot of anger management at the bench.

    Might consider making these for sale if the vibe picks up. A tool you never need till you need it...
