Ok, so still round - just with flats milled into the center section. Different, but not something I'd put on a field rifle as the gap it creates could allow foreign matter to get down into the magazine or wedge itself between the bolt and receiver causing it to jamb up on you. Fine for a bench gun/range queen I suppose.

I’ve been speaking with the owner of Lumley, Tom. Good guy. Those are actually just large square flutes. But he told me last week he was only planning to release the standard to start. He’s making the standard round in .695” & .700” to start, then he’ll see about doing the fluted.
Tom has several other products on the horizon. They already offer the Bolt Handles & the BAS’ for both the 110 & Axis in 6AL4V Titanium. I use both of these & the quality of machining is fantastic. And YES, I have dibs on a round style as soon as they are finished.
He also has several parts for Tikka. He likes those also. So if you’re a Tikka fan, check them out.
