    Ok here's my situation. Looking to buy a bolt for my R700 SA 308. Here's my wants:

    Fluted bolt
    Tactical/oversized bolt lift
    M-16 extractor

    I want to do business with a manufacturer/gun smith from this forum. Thanks.
     
    Do you currently have a bolt? If so, why not have it modified?

    Would that be cheaper? Plus I wouldn't mind having a spare laying around. Problem is there really isn't too many gunsmiths in my area. I like to do business with smaller shops and such. Also since I only have one LD gun I really don't want to have that much down time.
     
    Try PTG. Here's a link to what you're looking for. You're still gonna have to have someone set the headspace for you.

    Yeah that's the issue. I don't know of any gunsmiths in my area. I didn't know bolts had to be head spaced. Go and flame me now! I thought it was just the barrel when you put a new one onto an action.
     
    look up boltfluter here on the hide, I dont know how to do the damned link thing. he does good work and fast turn around time.

    Hell Doc, I didn't know a damn thing about headspace when I started this pursuit of precision either.
