[QUOTE="DUSTY NOGGIN, post: 1735195, member: 89550"] thank you .. would you consider it safe to mill a factory bolt for the m16 type ??? or would you go for a new bolt and take it all apart and do it right one piece at a time a second opinion will go along way with this guy ... i am all for the m16 type as well and you just backed it up, his smith put a new rem riveted type back in it on the quick .. so hes good for his hunt.. after only 60 or so shots though they really arent reliable .. im gonna have him read this thread and hear it from some pros rather than me the garage guy since that bolt is only .695 to .705 .. i was thinking there may be tee shaped tool or something that would key in through the lug areas .. then slide some pilot bushing in the action to center it .. to get that opened up to the .785 range i had a local guy open one up for a new barrel i i did .. he said he was only gonna open it up until it functioned .. he used a heaspace gauge for that function ..ended up being .730 .. well all my brass is bigger than that and it was scarring the brass .755 functions good now [/QUOTE]
