[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2697504, member: 24284"] I think I'd try to lap 'um smooth, not smooth by appearance, smooth by feel. Use a bolt that'll get re-carburized or will be "sacrificial", but Mauser '98 bolts are getting more expensive every day. If you decide to cut it out, in a lathe set-up, you'll need to come up with a cutting tool to reach the lug abutments, and preferably set the action up in a 'truing fixture', so it's straight. Either way, lapping or cutting, they'll need to be re-carburized. I don't send bolts, just the action when I send 'um to Blanchards. Good Mauser '98 actions (as are Springfields, P14s and M1917s) are getting hard to find. A 'good' rifle is too valuable to dis-assemble , just for the action. [/QUOTE]
