Customizing Remington 700 bolt
« on: June 11, 2013, 12:48:41 PM »
Could anyone help me with the name of a reputable gunsmith in Canada that can customize a rifle bolt. I would like to skeletonize the handle and spiral flute the bolt.Thanks

If you are looking to have it done within a Calander year I would send it to Bob Gallowy.  To my knowledge  he sends the bolts out to be fluted not sure to who, the machine that does it is expensive.  On that other site I would send a guy called Double Gun a PM.

The one Bob did for me was good but I would have liked the flutes a little deeper you might want to ask about that.

I know it says "Barrel maker" but I have had some work done on a bolt there as well.

Ron can do spiral flutes?  I vary much doubt that.
