bolt sleeve question

[wvlongshot]

I picked up a well built rifle the other day. The bolt is very tight fitting, and slick as glass. Trying to figure out if it is aftermarket or just has a long sleeve machined into it. Can anyone look at these pics and tell? Thanks.

That is an after market installed sleeve. It is done to mimic the Borden Bump.

Yep, ten four on that, it is after market. I've had several of my Rems done like this. Usually measure .705" at the sleeves, with bolt raceway bored out to accept this.

I was fairly sure factory bolt. But have never had one with sleeve entire length of the bearing surface. So far all the rest have been a sleeve front and back. Thanks for the replies. Scott.

How about a pic or two of the rifle.
