How our bolt on control head works

Now that is simplicity and hopefully a winner for you guys.

That is brilliant. Way to bring forward new ideas!

After just reading another thread here on case head separation, I'm wondering how this would hold up. Admittedly, I did not watch the video all the way through, nor with sound (at work right now), so maybe this was covered.

I don’t know if it would help, but the extractor is “captive” with the changeable bolt face. I think the material may be hardened, as well? I got to handle one and really liked that little detail.

The case is solid for about .200", the cases sit inside of a bolt by .125", and .010" clearance to the back of the barrel, so if a case head separates, it should be fully encapsulated by the chamber by about a 1/16 of an inch. If you are having a blown case, as in the pressure is relived outside of the chamber, you have way too much bolt to barrel clearance and it wasn't chambered properly.


That is the reason we left it to 360 degrees of coverage though, unlike any other extractor cut. The material on the bolt, action, bolt release and bolt control head are all 17-4 SS with a very high yield and tensile strength.

Thanks for the interest.
