700 bolt needs a refinish to whatever pattern it is called

[Jerry Snyder]

I have an older rem 700 bolt which at one time had the factory turn design. I am looking for someone who can refinish this bolt.

Thanks

boltfluter did 3 of mine. They look sharp and slide smoothly. Send him a PM.

 

[Liven The Dream]

Did one for me..... Outstanding
This Winter will send Him one more.

My bolt use to look like yours.
@boltfluter turned it into something special, he also bushes the firing pin.

I can't help but echo what others have said. Paul does amazing work. You won't be disappointed.

And, BTW, the finish you are looking for is called "Jeweled".

Maybe @boltfluter will send me a message and tell me what this costs? I have a couple that need it bad!

You can PM him directly at the blue highlighted link provided by “Ccrider” and others in this thread.

"Jewelling"
You can spec out the spacing etc to suit your needs/ looks
Glad to hear someone here does this type of work

Clancy my only instructions were to do my bolt as if it was his own.
I couldn't be more pleased with Paul's work, as the Remington bolt is my second.
Tikka bolt belongs to a buddy, his second as well.
Skeletonized bolt hande with knob, shroud and fluting.
Firing pin had been bushed prior

Put your money towards a new quality barrel. Looks don't make it shoot any better.

Fluting the bolt looks great but it's more than looks too. If doing a full on truing job, you can run tighter bolt to raceway clearance because the fluting gives small debris that might cause problems on a non-fluted bolt some issues, a place to go and prevent binding up. Just fyi is all. Send it to boltfluter. His work is very nice, from what I've seen. I'm sure he can tell ya all the details and discuss options etc with ya.

I had a a ‘64 700 in 30-06 and after storage for many years it had a bit of light rust on the bolt and though removed easily with 000 steel wool it left the finish somewhat diminished… Bolt worked as it was supposed to but I remember that when I bought it that finish was referred to as “Engine Turning”..
Apparently done with a wood dowel spun in a drill press with a dash of valve lapping compound that developed that circular swirl finish.
That might be a “Home” fix if you are a bit handy and have the equipment.

Boltfluter does jeweling?

I jeweled a Tikka bolt body using plastic jaws in a hobby vise, some 600 grit lapping compound, and the felt polishing drums in a Dremel. Take your time and don't press down too hard and it will turn out looking pretty good.

That gun now belongs to my nephew as I let him borrow it for a hunt and it never came home.

In the past, B Square made a jig. I built my own from plans the machining instructor in GS school shared. Made my own alterations. Using my jig, takes about an hr to do 700 bolt

 

[shortgrass]

Here's the jig. Used on the drill press with a stop for even 'swirls'

 

[shortgrass]

Doing without a mechanical or cnc means of advancing and rotating for the next row would be a futile effort, IMO. I think it was Wilcox that manufactured another jig in the past, that was offered through Brownells. I know of no commercial manufacture these days, too expensive to manufacture and then sell. I sold my B Square version on GunBroker years ago, and it went for far more than I paid for it. The B Square was basically a method to rotate to the next row and without a mechanical means of advancement for even spacing of the 'swirls'.
