[QUOTE="TK 1985, post: 1190769, member: 92618"] Looking at PTG bolts, and they wiill make the bolt body to a custom diameter to your specification, that way you reduce slop in bolt going down the raceway. My question is that while good in theory on a bench rifle, on a hunting rifle, especially in the conditions I experience here in Pennsylvania, would that not be a bad thing? It was brought up to me today, that with such close tolerances, in our climate, if any moisture gets in there and then freezes, it could lock the bolt in the rifle. Is this a real concern with making such a tight fit? I have never experienced it but I also have only always hunted with factory rifles. [/QUOTE]
