[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1185885, member: 24284"] If you decide to order a bolt from PT&G, it should be custom sized for your action. No sense in ordering a bolt just to get the 'stock' size. With the way triggers function on a 700, they push the rear of the bolt upwards until stopped by the rear receiver bridge. This leaves the upper locking lug out of contact with the lug abuttment in the receiver. A custom sized bolt, that "fills the raceway in the receiver", helps eliminate this condition. It cannot be eliminated completely as some clearance is needed to be able to cycle the bolt. "Truing" the factory bolt or replacing it with one of 'stock size' does little except maybe make you feel good, give you some bragging rights, and remove $$$ from your wallet. [/QUOTE]
