** UPDATE** ISO Experienced Gunsmith to Bush Bolt

[noahburleson1]

**UPDATE** looks like LRI is going to have two bolts from me to bush and thank you to the people that recommended them to me!!

These are brand new custom actions I payed good money for… first bolt only has 1,022rds on it (ran about 2950 majority of those rds). 2nd bolt has 505rds on it (ran mainly at 2900-2910). Was told by the manufacturer (who I do not want to publicly name) it’s from running the 7-6.5prcw over 2900fps with n555. Do your research before buying. Talk to the manufacturers before you buy about what you plan on doing and how fast you plan on running it and if they can stand behind their product confidently for you to do so.

I am looking for an experienced gunsmith to bush a bolt for me. I was told this steel on these bolts is very hard and don’t know if it can be done or not. Looking to get it sent to the gunsmith around 12/9/24 and hopefully have it back as quick as possible. As you can see in the pictures the firing pin hole tapers in, causing puckered primers. Thanks in advance

@carlsbad or @Grimstod both do great bolt work if they are still doing it.

Long Rifles Inc. does the work but don't know the turn around time.

@boltfluter (Paul) also does great work in a timely fashion. -Al

Thanks, I thought it was some kind of badge of excellence.

I spoke to him a couple weeks ago and he said he doesn’t have tooling hard enough for these bolts. Thank you though!

Jon Beanland in Oklahoma would be another option.

Why a PM? A lot of us might be wondering what that bolt goes to.

I don’t want to bash any manufacture publicly. People take many different things away from information (good & bad)

The only bolts I have seen that were case hardened were the Bruno Action made by McMillan back in the early 2000’s.

My thought to until I read the whole thing. ISO is in the business world as I am sure you know.

Sorry you’re having issues with your bolt.

I have heard rumors that some guys are having similar problems with their bolts - don’t know all the details - but apparently a few are popping up. Let us know how things work out.
