Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
Inquire to SSS & ask who manufactures the bolt body/handle/knob.
Inquire how the handle is located/timed/attached.

I can handle that, talked to SSS when I was considering that bolt. First I will say, there is nothing wrong with the bolt itself if that is what you want and need a fast turn around. Be aware if you do go with that bolt I was told by SSS that .012 would need to be removed from the lugs to fit an unmolested remington action, and then you need to check headspace and adjust it if needed. It is a PTG bolt body and handle/knob. the handle is soldered on as far as locating, timing it is set to factory specs, so it may or may not time properly with you action

Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
I just bought a PT&G bolt and had to learn what "timing" is. I still don't really know what it is...guess it is attaching the handle properly so it works with the selected action. Anyway, the one thing I did learn, was to send the action in along with the bolt....otherwise it can't be timed. Also, learned there is this thing called TIG welding that seems to be the preferred/strongest weld. Then, I learned that Nathan Dagley is a hot shot gunsmith who does great TIG welding: http://www.straightshotgunsmithing.com/
Still don't really know what "timing" is....oh well, Nathan could probably explain it

Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
Nathan has built one rifle for me with another on the way. He is a super nice guy and can put together a shooter and fit and finish are second to none. He makes good looking brake that works good too. When I get the Predator action from the group buy it will be going to him too.

Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
There are innovators/certified TIG welders.
There are imitators/back yard welders.
If your TIG welded bolts/handles need to be bead blasted to remove carbon-use it for a paper weight-as temper is AFU.

Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
I would like to think we are above that here, let the other sites sling their mud. I don't think it helps to bash members and sites. I understand he said some shitty things on 6mmbr but who cares, thats not here. If he wants to come here and help oput sometimes let him if it turns into a constant degrading session, boot him. I only have about 321 posts so I'm not going to get in the middle of an internet argument. You argue on the internet you might as well beat your head against a wall

Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
Well Dan, I too am an honest person like you, but I tell it to peoples faces rather than their backs. So here is some honesty for you, I think you are a tool! On a professional level, I think you are a damn fine welder, but you love to talk trash about others and their work. Just because someone uses some elses services or products that doesnt mean they are inferior to yours.
Because of your low opinion of others and you thinking you are better than the rest of us, I will never have any work done by you. And I hope other members read this and do the same.

To have an understanding of interpass temperatures and what you are doing to the base material is paramount.....

Also, learned there is this thing called TIG welding that seems to be the preferred/strongest weld. Then, I learned that Nathan Dagley is a hot shot gunsmith who does great TIG welding: http://www.straightshotgunsmithing.com/
Still don't really know what "timing" is....oh well, Nathan could probably explain it </div></div>
Nice looking work,
one caveat.........
the second video of the bolt handle welding that shows the underside of the bolts....
at least two of the bolts show heat discoloration up to and perhaps farther than 1/2" away from the weld area......
This can ruin the temper on the cocking cam surface.... (steel)
those bolts look stainless, too much heat on some 300 series stainless can cause crack sensitization in the "heat affected zone"
(area around the weld)
I am not a gunsmith...
I am a professional welder....
AWS certified, and an AWS certified weld inspector...
Not trying to bash anyone.... the ability to lay down a nice bead is good, and important.
To have an understanding of interpass temperatures and what you are doing to the base material is paramount..... </div></div>

You can not stop heat by drawing a line and saying "don't pass this" There is no way to weld on a handle without getting the steel hot enough to change colors. Some people set their welder very low to make a pretty looking weld, but the weld is only that, pretty. The weld has no penetration and can be broken off as easy or easier than a silver soldered on handle. The key here is after welding let the bolt cool slowly. Do NOT quench in water or oil at most you will only drop a couple points in RC and should easily be above RC-40. I have tested the hardness after the welding and have never found a noticeable loss of RC in the cocking cam, although tig welding needs to get the metal 2580*F. it does it in a fraction of the time it takes to heat a whole bolt and handle to 1200* therefore effecting less area. I have had bolts here silver soldered on by very good and well know silver soldiers' That do countless numbers of bolts a year and they have had discoloration as far as an inch from the handle. There have been no issues. I can not even see any wear on cocking cams that I have run ten thousand rounds through. I am definitely not a "know it all", but I do research and extensive testing on the services I offer, before I offer them.

The reason 300 series can crack when welding is because it holds heat. It does not disperse, almost like an insulator. I am not aware of any custom action manufactures that are using stainless bolts, if there is it would probably be more like a 17-4 stainless or similar alloy, but when you are talking about safety, a 4000 series CM steel is best.</span> (area around the weld)

If your TIG welded bolts/handles need to be bead blasted to remove carbon-use it for a paper weight-as temper is AFU. </div></div>
The reason for sand or bead blasting is to remove discoloration, not carbon. Sure I could use an acid wash, but don't like to work with the chemicals. If you say you have no discoloration, then your welds have no penetration and will probably break off as easy or easier than silver soldered on ones.
I think you are deceived if you think you can tell everything about a part by it's outward appearance. Unfortunately the whole world seems to have this attitude. Meaning the outward appearance is more important that the heart of the issue.

Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
there are plenty of stainless (not sure what series) rem 700 bolt bodies. the bolt head is still chromo regardless of the body material.

The only ones I'm aware of are the ones Remington offers in their stainless actions. I am also not sure of what the alloy is, but it has not been a problem to weld to. 80% of the bolts I weld handles on are PTG bolts, lug and body are one piece out of 4000 series steel.I primarily build custom rifles. I only do approx. 200 bolts per year, but I don't recall having a single one returned for any issues.
"I am not aware of any custom action manufactures that are using stainless bolts"
Just to clarify, I stated custom actions not factory actions. I'm not saying there are not any I'm just not aware of them.

Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
I'm new to Tac shooting sport. I have bought two Remmy rifles recently and I have not fired them yet. First is a 700 varmint 308 and a 308 LTR. Both have black bolts and handles. Well, I guess everything is black on these rifles. If you are changing the bolts to extend the handles and if the welding changes the color around the bolt where the new handles are welded on, how do I make the bolt handles and the welded area black again. Thanks for your help.

Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
If any one is looking for a tig welder that will do better work than most with out needing there mouth welded shut let me know. I do all the bold welding for ga precesion i have georges support of one of the best tig welders i think that says enough. As for dan talking all that shit on tig welding anybody can look up welding phrases off google and sound like they know what there doing.

Re: Superior Shooting Systems Remy 700 Bolt...
Hi
Iam the new kid on the block here and do not want to offend any of the more knowledgeable members.
But i would like to point out the the Late Mike Tierney, of Custom Rifles, Southampton, UK was having bolt handles TIG welded on his custom Mauser rifles back in 1981.
I do not know when Dan TIG welded his first bolt handle but to claim to be the inovator is rather a bold statement.
Mike ran his business from my premises, he was a Gunmaker and did most everything by hand.
