[QUOTE="fireroad, post: 447970, member: 17359"] JE - I was hoping you would chime in! Sorry for the onslaught of questions but... So even if I used 600 grit lapping compound and only worked the bolt less then 50 times...I would be doing more harm then good? Graphite - Would I be using that as an everyday lubricant or just to work the action to smooth it out? Teflon/Moly - I have thought of that but since all the finishes I have found are colored and not clear it would mean doing the whole gun or nothing at all. Plus they all require heavy prep work, mainly bead blasting, in which I would A: have to send it out to be done as I don't have that kind of equipment and B: I would lose the jeweling on the bolt body. I may ultimately send the rifle out to Lee at blackicecoatings.com to have the whole thing done in matte black....but in the meantime is their a clear coating I can do the whole bolt in myself or a black coating I can do just on the lugs (again myself)?
