[QUOTE="Mateo, post: 1068542, member: 77067"] The original bolt is .694 and is really loose in the raceways. I had hoped a bigger bolt would take up some of this slack and still cycle smoothly. But it doesn't look that way. The PTG bolt is well made and I'm really happy with it other than the binding. I'm thinking of removing material in the middle section of the bolt body and keeping the tight tolerances just behind the recoil lug and in front of the handle. Just enough to get it close to the factory .695. This way I get precision fit when in battery, while giving clearance to cycle smoothly. Thoughts? I know reaming out the raceway is an option but that seems to negate the oversized bolt. [/QUOTE]
