PT&G Bolts

[Xkv8r]

Here's a poser for the experts.

I've checked the Youtube video made by Greg Tannel where he points out the various benefits of his bushing process, in particular the bit where the firing pin is fully aligned inside its tunnel, ie the tip does not crash into the funnel just before it exits the bolt face.

Do the PT&G Bolts have the same feature?

OK searching their site I came across 2 pics showing a standard bolt and their bolt - their setup is identical to the Greg Tannell job, the firing pin isn't left to hang in midair - it is held captive by via firing pin hole

yes

yes

Thanks, might be worth it to get a couple. Next question is if I get this bolt with a 0.062 hole, will a Tubb Speedlock firing pin just drop in or will I have to turn it down to fit?

A Speedlock will NOT fit my Kiff bolt......but I caution you that IME the Speedlock degrades accuracy (off the bench) over the standard RP spring provided the spring is still in spec and not weak from use/ age.
