1-piece bolt body

Larger diameter bolt body offers an excellent fit in the action normally eliminating action boring and bolt sleeving for a no-play fit
got 1 for my 260, had it Nitrided with some barrels i did, http://savageshooters.com/SavageForu...41326.120.html
you notice the less play and smother action with it, the Nitride helps more with that, due to the hardness and lubricity.

PTG custom bolt, look at 1st link....
yes, it is slick.. yes i tried it before and after... along with the 4 other actions i had done
Have you noticed any reduction in effort when opening the bolt with the new bolt body and the nitriding?

no, but i all ready did the 38 bolt bod to this bolt, and lapped the luggs and polished the cocking ramp

I know this post is old but i was wondering how you got a black ptg bolt, or if you did it yourself how? This is exactly what im looking for and can only find them in white
I may be wrong, but I believe the nitriding turns it that color
I know nothing about where to get it done, but I bet if ya start a thread someone here does. Just wait a few and maybe someone will chime in on this one
Look for a heat treating company close to you. You want it hung verticaly during the process.

Good info. I have a PTG bolt arriving in a few days and wanted it coated since it comes in the white.
did you have to do anything to the bolt body other than Nitriding? or is it as simple as taking apart the old bolt and putting it together again with the new bolt body?
