[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 157114, member: 1920"] Joe, Here are a couple bolts I have skeletalized handles on. I took a picture of one this morning that a customer picked up, but I am camera illiterate and somehow the pictures didn't make it onto the camera, so enjoy these and let me know if I can help you. I for one prefer to not skeletalize the handle by removing the checkering as I don't like the feel of the handle, but I can skeletalize however you would prefer. as far as accuracy loss from fluting or skeletalizing bolt, I feel it is a myth. For one, what is going to do more damage a heavy pendilum swinging or a light one swinging. also if there is accuracy loss from fluting or skeletizing why do 90% of custom actions have it? I think they would have figured something out if it were an issue. If you want it done to loose weight I will tell you know that weight loss is very little, if you need to loose a little weight just carry two shells in the maagazine instead of three, you will loose more weight doing this. I sell this strictly on a "looks cool" basis, but fluting can help on close tollerance bolt to receiver fit and will allow dust and dirt a place to go versus sticking between bolt body and raceway. FWIW, 308nate [img]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m311/308nate/sbh5.jpg[/img] [img]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m311/308nate/sbh4.jpg[/img] [img]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m311/308nate/sbh3.jpg[/img] [img]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m311/308nate/sbh1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m311/308nate/sbh2.jpg[/img] [img]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m311/308nate/jjbolt.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
