[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 69115, member: 8843"] I was able to get two actions from Brownells but both are small bolt face (.378") , one gun is gonna be a 223 and the other was gonna be a 308. Well in my efforts to find a new bolt with the larger bolt face a local smith stated that it would be better to use the 223 bolt face and open it up , his thinking is that you would be able to make the bolt face perfectly centered if indexed off of the bolt body when machined. it sounds pretty logical any of you builders out their care to comment on this? How much would it cost to have the bolt face opened up from .378 to .473 if it were done when the actions was being trued anyway? [/QUOTE]
