Not always, I found it is best to call them in the late morning early afternoon. You can try and send them an e-mail, and ask for them to give you a call.Quote:

Mine has the flutes colored in a "smoke" color.

Already have the SSS stock and trigger, now I just need the new 260 barrel and it'll be ready to put together.
Any one know if the painted handles/fluting was a special one time thing, or does SSS do that regularly? I think a nice gloss orange to match my Black/Black/Orange VLT would look great! Did you guys send your bolt in for the service or are they brand new? Also, what is the price on this service? Thanks!
I just sent an Email and told them to send me 2 short action bolt bodies. (fluted)
Had to send in my "J" series bolt body to get it done. Turnaround was about a week or 10 days. And if you want it "tomorrow", you should have ordered it last week. ;) Email has "always" worked good for me. Place your order and they'll get to it when the can. Never a rush on my end.
If you want color on the flutes, try a "highliter" pen. Works slick. Want a color change? (We all like changes) Use a different colored pen. Just keep the gun cleaner off the flutes. It'll last as long as you want it to. ;) The color you like today may not be the color you like tomorrow. :)
Thats what I thought, and why I went with a smoke gray color. It'll match anything I put it on. Was gonna go with Blue to match my stock, but figured "what if I change the stock down the road".....LOLQuote:

That is not paint, but it is powder coating. SSS does powder coating upon request. I am not sure if they have orange, but they should be able to get it, make add to the time of your bolt being finished.Quote:

Very durable, (More so than paint) should take a licking and keep on ticking.Quote:

Beautiful, Who's stock is on the weapon.... Rooster 50?
Thanks,

Wow, already had a response to my e-mail, and an fluted bolt with orange bolt handle and flutes is on order!! Great service in my two dealings with SSS!!!
what is the email or number for fred. i fell in love with the work just goin over the 5 pages.
I think it is a Richards. I bought from my buddy just before he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and he was not getting a lot of facts straight at that point. It was not inletted for anything when I got it. My gunsmith...Bill Coprio did the stock and he did a great job.Quote:

Got my "bling" just the other day. I can't wait to see what it looks like after Joel finishes the stock for me!!!
Now I have to get one to match my other custom stock. This could get spendy!!!

I just discovered this site a few days ago and love it. I purchased a tactical bolt handle from Tactical works a few weeks ago unaware of Fred and SSS. I received the bolt handle and have already put it on my Savage Model 16 and love it, however it has a very dull stainless finish. I noticed someone posted earlier in the thread about polishing a bolt handle to a mirror shine, how does one go about doing that? I am new to all of this and have never really been exposed to working with metal.
Can you buy a bolt body from SSS which is fluted and exchange it with your bolt and install the other parts from your original bolt? Like the bolt head, firing pin & spring and bolt handle etc.
