Gunsmithing Side bolt release kits?

[Anchor Zero Six]

Used the search and found a few threads but non really helpped.

So far all I have found is Kampfield, Stiller and PTG as suppliers for the latch itself.

Wondering if there are others and which if any include all of the needed parts (pins, springs etc).

PTG is clear there are no instructions provided any of the others include drawings?

For the guys that do this mod often do you prefer any one over the other?

Contact Mark Gordon from SAC. He just installed a side release on my Rem 700 action. He should be able to help you out.

Never used one of theirs but Defensive Edge sells a complete kit. Here you go: http://www.defensiveedge.net/products/bolt%20release/DE%20BOLT%20RELEASE.htm
Good Luck

operator1 you da man! Thanks, now my only concern is how hard it is. Says 416 SS or Chromoly but I have read its best to use a softer material than the bolt to prevent peening.

My bolt is a CM PTG.

Gotem on the shelf. Not as "tactical" as some, but functional and softer than the bolt so as not to ding the lug.

$125 installed.
