I have a model 70 bolt that has some mediocre jeweling, and I’m thinking I would just rather have a polished bolt to match my polished stainless extractor. Any reason to not take some 400 grit paper and remove the jeweling? I can’t imagine that would remove enough metal to cause any issues with fit. | ||

Won't remove anything significant. I take the paper and back it with Duck Tape. Then use a shoeshine stroke. | |||

it's just surface polish - i'd start with 800 or finer opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round? Case Drawings 416-458-470AR and 500AR. 476AR, http://www.weaponsmith.com | |||

Belt sander with scotchbrite belts; 1x42; I use the maroon belts and finish with blue. Yes, jeweling, or engine turning, is very thin/light, but is actually ground into the steel. I don't think 800 grit will remove fly spit. And I don't mean spit. Couldn't resist. | |||

Youcan get a better smoother action if you use hones according to Jack Hogue, and I found it true after his advise and questioning other well known smiths.. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||
