[QUOTE="DustThroughaFan, post: 2827693, member: 126551"] Recently purchased a ruger American in 300blk and I am not pleased at all with the fit/finish of the bolt. So I'm probably just going to dump it before it ever sees its first round of ammunition. I just wanted something lite and handy to shoot subs in the dark that I wouldn't worry about beating up but I don't think I can tolerate this thing. Anyway, I've got a spare 223 bolt for a 700, and a 700 that I play musical barrels with already, so I'm thinking about just spinning up a barrel for the rifle I have. Problem is, I've done this before, way back when the 300blk first came out, and I never could get it to extract right. It would always lose the case halfway out and you either had to fish it out by hand or dump it out. I got tired of it and had the guy that built it rechamber it in 308 win. Reading on another forum, someone had posted, in order for a 700 in 300blk to function, it needed a 300blk specific bolt, or a bolt that was used in the fireball chambered rifles in order to function. Allegedly, the blackout/fireball bolts had the extractor clocked in a different location. Is there any truth to this ? I can't find any info on it anywhere. [/QUOTE]
