[QUOTE="JayIdaho, post: 274380, member: 2379"] I made up a bunch of bushings from an old CrMo barrel. Tinned them on the o.d. with soft solder. Held the bolt in a home-made "LaBounty" fixture and bored the snout out on the lathe. Held bolt vertical in vise, put a small amount of acid on the freshly machined area, placed tinned bushing on the end of the bolt, heated until solder melted and gently pushed the bushing into place. After machining the face and i.d. of the bushing and finishing the job, you can't see the joint line where the solder is on the bolt snout. Whatever works..... [/QUOTE]
