Hi Mark,
My Rem 700 bolt should be going out to you via USPS overnight on Monday. Are you still on the same-day turn around?
Thanks,
Jorge

Would it be too much to ask for a pic of the bolt in the lathe? As a wannabe machinist, this really has my curiosity. If that gives away too much of a "trade secre"t, I totally understand...I can get a mental image, but I'm just curious as hell. Do you have a fixture you've made?
Nice work BTW.

Re: Short Action Customs: Bolt Knob Conversions...pics

Thanks Steelcomp, but I'm not showing it at this time. It is just a round fixture that holds the bolt at the correct angle so I can turn it in a lathe and have the old knob turned down into a threaded shaft. I then drill out the center of the shaft and tap it for 10/32 while its indicated in.

I made fixtures for Remington 700's, Winchester/FN, Remington 541's.....coming up next are Ruger Mk77/22's, CZ 452's, Howa and Savage.

Re: Short Action Customs: Bolt Knob Conversions...pics

yeah, you definitely have to have some kind of fixture to hold it in the 4 jaw.
