Ruger American Bolt Action work

[fmsniper]

Nothing to do with all of this snow, so I worked on my Sons Ruger American
I slicked up the Bolt by lightly polishing it with a sanding sponge, and jeweled the bolt

but what made the difference is polishing the area where the bolt stop drags

it feels like a Tikka now
I also cut down the forend simular to a TC Demension, and filled the buttstock and the for-end with glass bedding

Cool tinkering project. I intend to grab one or three of the stainless .223 they have coming out with an 8 twist.

Did you free hand jewel it or do you have a jig?

Did you jewel all around the bolt? I think im gonna give it a go using a vise. Trying to find a bolt jeweling jig/fixture is not easy anymore.

no just the area that shows when closed
