[QUOTE="Mateo, post: 1069938, member: 77067"] After careful sanding and polishing I got the stickiness to go away. I used 800 grit sandpaper and a deep socked that fit snug in the raceway with a single piece of sandpaper on one side. It was a perfect fit. Gently pulling out the strip of sandpaper while holding the socket in place with light downward pressure worked great. I could quickly see that there were a few high spots. Once I got those down the bolt would cycle smoother and still be nice and tight while locked in battery. A little more fiddling and polishing turned it into the smoothest remington I have ever felt. It's not loose and easy to cycle like the stock bolt was. It's just .... Smooth. Tight and smooth. I'm guessing this is what a custom action must feel something like. The rest of the action gets blueprinted next week. Good times. [/QUOTE]
