Is it possible to remove the jeweling from the bolt of a Savage 111 without harming the bolt? The only reason why I want to remove the jeweling is I hate jeweling.

yep. just take a sanding belt or any abrasive tool to it. Not a big deal.
My concern is reducing the diameter. Even if it only takes a couple of thousands of an inch. I would baking soda(or some other fine media) blast it or CeraKote or K-G NaNo coat it .
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
REALLY? I don't see that as an issue. The bolt body doesn't even touch any other parts in the action.Originally Posted by Robinhood

Why not just put it on a belt sander then?
Your probably right though. That body is pretty darn hard.

I like the jeweling but wish the Savage logo was gone...kind of a minimalist like that.
That’s not true. Rear bridge. Diameter is critical to action feel.
factory bolt body should be 0.693. PTG sells or use to sell a 0.699 bolt body to help alleviate action slop.
I think Savage inner diameter on receiver is 0.700, but with all things these tolerances can and do change. Bolt bodies seem to measure 0.695 to 0.697.
Thanks Rusty, I didn't feel like making the point.
