Im trying to decide which color flutes to go with on my bolt and was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to post any pics you have of different colors.
Thanks

hum I wonder ::)
If it were up to me, I'd spend a few more dollars and a bolt that is custom ground to start with from Pacific Tool and Gauge.
A new PTG bolt fluted will be way better than a factory bolt with flutes. Although you'll have to adjust the headspace.
Why ? ???Quote:

No, I meant why do you have to reheadspace ? I was thinking it was just the fluted bolt body, I didn't know you were talking about replacing the entire bolt, sorry. :-[
I looked at the PTG, it is chrome moly in the white.When using in a SS reciever what would be used for finish. Ron
Try natural (no color)...

Is the bolt that is in a stailess steel action stainless steel or cm? Would not the chrome moly rust or discolor?Quote:

Now... (having said that) you do realize that Stainless Steel will rust - right? And that in either case, to have your bolt rust or discolor, you'd need to treat it badly and with gross undue care (so you'd get what you deserve if you do so).
I don't see that it matters about what the bolt is made of. In fact, I'd say it is BEST if it is CM as the bolt strength would be superior an I'd say that is important to the overall life of the bolt and it's role in accuracy.
Not sure why you asked that question - but I hope this gives others something positive to think about....
Stainless steel can rust or not rust. It can be magnetic or non-magnetic, depends on the metalurgy. If you're interested in no BS facts go to wikipedia & search: stainless steel.
Well aparently you are not 100% clear about what you are saying. ALL Stainless Steel does - in fact - rust (to various degrees depending upon the metalurgy). It does not rust in the way that traditional steel does, but it can and will rust just the same if it is not taken care of. That does not mean that Stainless Steel does not do a better job of resisting corrosion - it does (again - to differing degrees depending upon the particluar metalugy). But MOST people assume that SS does ot rust, and this is a fallacy. Wiki BTW is a self edited reference and is not 100% reliable. Even so, wiki also says the same thing - SS resists rust but is not rust proof (it just does not rust the same as other steels do).Quote:

BTW... molybdenum and chromium are both in SS. Adding nickle and changing the percentages of Cr and Mo is what make the particular SS (and they all have designations to indicate their own properties).
Guys even though I appreciate the science lesson I'm really just looking for pics...thats all.
jhelmuth thanks for the pic.
Sorry mossey didn't mean to interupt your origina question. Ron
There are some pictures in the picture post section. :)
No worriesQuote:

Harden bolt bodies seem to slide better than other bolt bodies that are not hardened, none hardened bolt bodies seen to be a bit grabby. PT&G bolt bodies are not hardened. Now that this is covered can we get the thread back on topic?
If you use the search feature you will pull up some of the bolt bodies that SSS has done.
Here are a couple of results. (Go through all the pages, in the threads.)

Perfect! Thanks that what I was looking for!

the bolt in your pix is that from SSS?
if so can i ask how much it cost because im looking for something exactly like that for my build i just did and i love that long handle.
i think it would finish off my rifle perfectly. you can see pix of it in a thread i started called rebarreling a 110 i think its on the forth page of the forum.
Go and type in sharpshooters supply in your search engine. Has products, services and prices.
;)

Monkey, Is that a pentax? Looks like it has been a workhorse. If it could only tell stories.
Burris signature 1 1/2 x 6.
It swaps onto my slug gun when I need it to.
I should give it a good cleaning.
Cooker that's a bolt handle from stockade.
Are the new bolt bodies that you can get for an extra $20 over sending them yours to have fluted just factory savage bolt bodies or is it a higher quality one like a PTG bolt body?Quote:
