Thread: bolt fluting...

I just got my Howa bolt fluted a few weeks ago for $200. I won't be naming an companies either, but it came back without be deburred. The burrs were so bad that I noticed them immediately after thinking 'why won't my bolt fit into the the action '... so I then had about an hours work to do in deburring, polishing and cold bluing which I was less than impressed with for the money spent.

I also got a quote from Greystone and they quoted $200. Gunworks wouldn't touch it as apparently Howa uses a hardened steel that damages their tooling.
