Right we all know a bolt face can be 'opened' easy as but why dont you see many people 'close' them?
I have a 7mm saum rem700 titanium action that i was given:thumbsup: but dont want that bolt face as, why cant i sleeve it an fit sako extractor rather that buy new bolt body? be no weeker that what it was when was open on the saum be smaller round anyway
Anyone herd of anyone doing it?
Feed rails can be changed to suit new rounds so thats no biggie either
Cheers Abe
No reason why you cant.
Depending on how much smaller you go the sleeve might not be too thick, but if its a press fit, then there should be no issues.
Pretty simple engineering job really.
Its not big at all but wondering why you never hear it been done?Quote:

Orde a new bolt with PT&G when you do the order for a 243AI reamer:P
Swap the bolt with some one that wants a magnum bolt face........pick me.......pick me :D
Have a look on youtube, theres a vid of a guy opening boltface and fitting sako extractor, he opens bolt face then fits a bush to the size he wants then uses some form of easy flow to hold it in from memory
and givin a action! wtf haha
:thumbsup: i do have 4 in the orderQuote:

Tui-man, if you specifically want to use a Titanium action then use one of these
Titanium Actions from X-Treme Shooting within AccurateShooter.com
Or if you want to modify the stainless bolt that comes in you Rem Ti action then most gunsmiths can do that.
Give Scott a call at SSRNZ.co.nz
[QUOTE=7mmsaum;13908]They are very nice looking actions:thumbsup:Quote:
