Before and After

Just wanted to post a couple of pics of the bolt in my 7RM and give a Thank You to Karl, at Kampfeld Customs for the awsome job he did on my bolt, and the quick turn around, 9 days from day I shipped till day I got it back. i dont think you can beat that.

Besides the cool appearance, what exactly is the benefit of a fluted bolt ? It seems there is less bearing area, so if anything it will wear out faster ?

looks cool and it gives a place for dirt to go. The only point of contact in the rifle that really matters are the lugs, this shouldn't hurt anything.

You answered before I got the chance but my answer would have been the same, also I'm 64 I don't think I could wear the bolt out, before I wear out. Besides this was an anniversary present. And it definatly looks good.

In wet too snowy cold counrty I hunt the less surface is less likely to hard freeze shut.I still work bolt and pin out of habit on bad days

Karl is a really nice guy & does superb work. He did spiral fluting on a barrel for me. I don't think I've seen that type of work on the bolt handle before, looks awesome.

Most all of my rifles wear fluted bolts; do they work better? No, but **** they look good in my trophy shots

Thanks, and I agree though I never spoke with Karl, I used email since I knew he was busy and did not want to pull him away from his work. I was really happy with the work he did for me and the bolt handle turned out great, I think it adds to the overall look of the bolt. I appreciated the quick turn around time, that was a real plus. Now I gotta kill something for that trophy shot
