The Bolt in the new Remington I just built my 308 on had so many problems I just called Carlsbad and got a complete PTG bolt.

It went right in, and headspace exactly like the factory bolt.

Jackie, there's one of the infamous late model 'RR' receivers here. Per normal, the cam angle on the receiver is practically non existant. Even with only .015 gap between the front of the bolt handle and the notch in the receiver, there's no contact between the bolts cam angle and the cam angle on the receiver.

I might mill the receiver cam angle off and fit a pin with the cam angle on it into the receiver....like Kelbly's does on the Panda, Kodiak, etc..

Dave Tooley mentioned this and this might be a good guinea pig for it. Will need to check out the bolt thoroughly before making a decision on it.

Thoughts? -Al

I have found a Holland's handle works well on the RR receivers. It has extra material in the cam surface (intentional to help with this issue) so you can fit it properly.

It’s hard to fully see with the shadow but the extractor cam surface can be fit as tight as you want it. I fit them to about .010” and you can get the angles to match near perfect if you are good with small files. You can get every bit of extraction cam possible out of a Remington with these.

I'm a big fan of the Holland Tactical handle.

Thanks for the tip, I sent my bolt to Dan.
He did a great job.

Thank you, all. I just spoke with Dan. I will be taking some measurements and sending it out to him.

I talked to Dan also. He told me about measurements he needed, but I could not figure out what he was talking about. Can you explain what he needs to me.

Nick, If you didn't understand Dan, I doubt that we could explain better.

Butch I am going to give it another try and call him today. I have five bolts I would like to have fixed. I have one rifle I can only use Winchester brass. Lapua gets stuck and I have to use a hammer to get the bold to open.

I had the same issue. I found it helped to have my action and feeler gauges with me on the call.

Does Dan weld the original bolt handle back on or replace it with a better design?
I have a 300WM that could use a bit longer bolt handle when I have gloves on.

CW

Buy a new bolt handle from PTG. And have it welded on. I like the straight handles, Not the sweept ones.

 

[urbanrifleman]

Dan reworks the original bolt handle to have different geometry.

 

[Nick Caprinolo]

Talked to Dan again today. He gave me instructions on the phone that I could understand. He also is going to send me a detailed set of written instructions.

Problem was that my bolt was stuck so tightly, that in attempting to get it out of the receiver, I bent it the handle and lifted part of it off the bolt body. He then instructed me to use a vice and press the handle back to touch the receiver, so I could take the measurements he needed. In doing that the bolt handle broke completely off the bolt. I now have to call him again to see what to do next.

 

[Sniperhandle]

Exactly correct. A carefully placed puddle of MIG weld was far less trouble than moving the handle, and resoldering or rewelding.

I don't see how you did this without melting the solder?

Pull the barrel and send the action with the bolt easy peasy

I dont think dan wants the action

 

[Nick Caprinolo]

I dont think dan wants the action

I can't take the measurements he needs because the handle is separated from the bolt.

Happens mainly on actions starting in RR for the

Look in the detailed instructions from Dan. I think he has instructions on how to scribe a line on the bolt if you don’t have a bolt handle attached.
