[QUOTE="livetohunt, post: 1443028, member: 100535"] [ATTACH]98238[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]98239[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]98238[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]98239[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]98240[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]98241[/ATTACH] All right, new update! I got quite a bit more done on the bolt. I had to make a flat bottom drill to get the shoulder about 4.5” deep that the firing pin shoulder will bottom put on. Where it’s at right now I will be about .03” protrusion in the firing pin. Also got the bolt into the mill and after a hell of a time designing the swarfed surface the the firing pin actuator rides on for the back end of the bolt... got the and the detent cut and then cut the lugs to a very close size and hand for them to the raceway! Smooth as butter!!! At this point I also decided I will be making my own bottom metal, designed around an AICS mag. The bottom metal I was going to buy ended up being an 8-12 week wait so I may as well make my own. [/QUOTE]
