[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 447979, member: 2736"] No problem. If you remove any material you are removing it from the outside surface and in order to polish it enough to remove the machine marks you will reduce the diameter of the bolt and increase the Inside diameter of the action. The use of graphite or molly will only fill the marks/scratches and smooth out the operation of the bolt until it gets broken in. When using the Molly ,you spray it on the bolt and let it set for a few minutes and wipe all of the excess off. (It will fill the scratches and will look like it is burnished) And will shine. The graphite is an occasional treatment and will not change the appearance, It will fill just like the Molly. Just use it sparingly. Try ether one (It wont hurt anything and it can be removed if you don't like it. When I was shooting High Power Matches I saw many fine rifles ruined by lapping/polishing to make them operate smooth when they were brand new, I let mine break in naturally and it only took 100 to 200 rounds . (I used the dry graphite). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
