[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1141317, member: 1290"] I am not a fan of form tools. Every bolt is different. A custom rifle deserves a perfect fit. I draw up a bolt and action blueprint for every barrel job. Measure your bolt head and cut the bolt recess for .010" clearance on diameter and depth. Front of lugs to end of barrel I set at .010" as well. Depending on application and customer preference these can be adjusted. Sometimes you have to custom grind a tool to achieve what you want.
