[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 427867, member: 2215"] That is true, if someone would buy your old bolt for $150 it would be cheaper to go with a aftermarket. My thoughts though are who would buy a factory bolt for $150 when they could get a PTG bolt with non attached handle for $125 have the handle attached for $55 and a Sako Extractor Parts Kit $25 for a TOTAL of $205. Then you mentioned a smaller firing pin hole. Your now going to have to get the factory firing pin ground down or just buy a complete fire control for at least $55. The extractor placement in the PTG bolts is the same place I put them in factory Remington 700 bolts. The nice advantage is having the bolt ground to the size you want but the fluting will cost another $35. Please don't get me wrong PTG makes some really great bolts and I've used several but. You could go either way depending on what else you wanted to have done to your bolt. But to just have the bolt face opened up, it's cheaper to have a sako extractor installed in your factory bolt vs buying a whole entire new bolt just to get a different bolt face. [/QUOTE]
