[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 654961, member: 24284"] The person who told you the M17 bolt is not a good choice was spot on. The M17 cocks on closing, your modern rifles cock on opening. The M17 was made with steels from the beginning of the [I]last[/I] century,. It was, also, heat treated with 'old' technology. Modern steels did not come into common use until WW2. I'd keep looking for that hiding spot, if I were you. Trying to adapt critical parts designed for one rifle to another doesn't make sense from a practical or safety stand point. [/QUOTE]
