[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 835842, member: 2580"] Haven't ever tried it, but if you just very lightly smoke the receiver with glass beads, it might make a satin finish without removing all the bluing and blurring the engraving. I would try a spot on the bottom of the receiver, or if you have a blued barrel or other part, try it on them first. Don't know if walnut hulls would dull the gloss or not. They might. Don't try it with sand or al-ox. You can't go light enough to prevent them from taking off blue and dulling engraving. I agree with JE on the bolt. Going down on bolt face size is best done by just getting a new bolt with the correct face, unless you can find someone who will swap a long action .473" face bolt for your long action .535" face bolt. If you rebarrel to 6.5 x .284 you'll need the bolt first, so headspace can be set to it. Good luck, Tom [/QUOTE]
