very nice

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

That looks great! Can you do that on a SA Howa bolt?

 

[Boltfluter]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Billyboy,

Unfortunately, on a Howa, the extractor would get in the way if it looks like the bolt below.

Regards, Paul.

What would you charge for something like that?

 

[Boltfluter]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Tag! That just changed my mind on having mine fluted eventually! Will this work for a savage?

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

What's the turnaround on that?

Also, is that primarily a decorative alteration? Or does it have a functional purpose?

 

[Boltfluter]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Helter,

About 10 working days or less. Looks cool and cycles very smoothly. Thanks.

Regards, Paul.

Do you need the entire action, or just the bolt?

Does this apply to a R700 bolt with a Sako extractor as well?

All I need is the bolt body. Thanks.

Sako extractors are fine. As they do not extend beyond the back of the locking lugs. Thanks.

Thanks Guys,

Regards, Paul.

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

I like Vortex cut the best. Doable with a Tikka?

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

+1 on the vortex fluting - very cool

 

[Boltfluter]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

cb_tikka,

No problem on a Tikka. Would look pretty awesome.

95.00(hard on tooling) + 12.00 ship/ins. Thanks,

Regards, Paul.

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

does fluting serve any real purpose besides looks? i read a post above that said smooth cycling, i'm noticing my new rem 308 5r SS seems abit rough on the pull back ( not sure if it needs lube or what, it has yet to be fired)

and was considering fluting. it it helps.

 

[Gman021]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Great work

 

[Boltfluter]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Minarix,

Fluting will help. But, it probably just needs to be cycled a few hundred times to knock of any burrs and lap in. With or without fluting it will get smoother. Don't just sit there, cycle that bolt. HaHa. Have a good day.

Regards, Paul.

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

One of the concerns that I have about fluting is that some folks have reported it chewing on the brass.

Do you have enough experience with this design yet to comment on whether that should be a concern?

 

[Boltfluter]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Oddball-Six ,

The key to any fluting job is to remove the very small burrs that are kicked up during machining and to have a high enough helix so the case is fully supported. The first bolt I did, I installed the follower and spring with a shell under the bolt and rotated the bolt open and closed. I could feel nothing during the function test. Which is exactly what you want. Thanks.

Regards, Paul.

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

I'll be doing this as soon as I get my next paycheck. That looks great!

 

[RichMangus]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

do you also do the bolt knobs?

Thanks

[MDStroup]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Could i have this type of fluting done to a bolt from a Badger Ordnance M2008 action? And how much would it cost?

 

[8up]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Paul, that fluting is one of the better styles I have seen, nice job!

 

[Boltfluter]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Rich,

Yes, I do bolt khobs as well. Thanks for asking. If you click on my site link below you can check out some that I have done.

Regards, Paul.

 

[Boltfluter]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

MDStroup,

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Badger has 3 lugs and uses a guide groove for alignment. I'm afraid fluting could comprimise this set up. Sorry.

Regards, Paul.

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Looks very sharp. Nice work. I will be sending my next bolt in. I assume la is no problem.

 

[Boltfluter]

Re: Vortex fluting - SA Remington

Impulse,

No problem.

Look forward to working with you. Thanks.

Regards, Paul.
