Where can I get bolts fluted?

[varmintman]

I have a couple bolts I need fluted. Where in the Portland area do they do so. Google search was unhelpful unless I want to ship my bolt somewhere. Which is also an option I'm ok with if unless I cant find someone local. Thanks guys!!

Look towards Estacada.

Copeland Gunworks.

Wouldn't lessoning the mass cause issues?

On a bolt? i don't think it factors in.

How?

The bigger question is what kind of bolt? Obviously you have something particular in mind, but is that the same kind of bolt the OP is talking about. All bolts are not the same....

We're assuming the OP is asking about doing this.

I agree, but it appears the poster I quoted may have a different idea.

I have them with and without and the ones that are fluted are pretty therefore more accurate past 300 yards . If the gun is in OD green it would also improve accuracy 10% over a standard black one .

This 100%.

FACTS !

The only question I have is why a bolt needs to be fluted seems to me to be just aesthetic and in no way improving on the actual action . If it was a semi sure it would change the dynamics faster follow up shots perhaps but on a bolt ? I would spent my money on ammo maybe a better trigger heck how about more range time !

Yes I see now, I was thinking like a typical AR/M4 bolt, kind of like the differences between a semi or full auto bolt carrier... wherein mass could make a difference.

No one has ever spent money on non-functional modifications to cars or guns before.

Gotta make it yours (pic not mine, unfortunately).

Probably more suited towards wheel guns / revolvers...


But who knows, they might work

Exactly that's what she said lol ! This is mine not stolen from the webs and I do shoot it !


Disclaimer engraving only improves function and accuracy by 4-5%

No bolt fluting talk around here. Let's keep it clean folks!

You guy are baaaaaad!
