[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 161397, member: 8843"] the bolt handels I have done were all very hard material and I'm sure that this Lathe jig would be the way to go , although I have never used ahollow mill for this type of job. The only thing I don't like about the job does on the mill is tapping the handle with a die , its very hard to get it started strait and get good results when done by hand , I made a jig to hold the die nut in the mill so that its all being held in the same axis and their is not much setup after the handle is turned down. I haven't use the mill to run the nut yet because my jig has a handle so that it can be turned by hand , kinda gives you a feel for it. I'd like to talk to the guy that made that jig to either get his info so I can make my own or buy one from him, unfortunatly I don't have any factory Rem bolt here. [/QUOTE]
