[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1879465, member: 24284"] Lots of things can make bluing come out purplish,,,,,, the solution not strong enough, temp of solution too strong or too weak, part not left in the solution long enough, hardness of the material. Hardness of material is not controlled by the addition of nickle. The amount of carbon is the determining factor in how hard a usable part can be made. Nickel was an alloying element used before CM steels became 'common' and readily available (CM and other alloy steels didn't become common until WW2). A Remington 700 bolt is made up of 3 different pieces, the bolt head, the bolt body, and the handle. The bolt head and the handle are silver brazed to the bolt body. The bolt handles are cast, and castings sometimes won't color properly in hot bluing salts. This was one of the things pointed out while in gunsmithing school. Lots of lower end shotguns used a cast receiver and required special procedures to blue properly as did the Nickel Steel Springfields. Primary extraction has nothing to do with the extractor, itself. Tobner explained primary extraction in his first post. As for the groove you had to cut in the bolt lug, that is about the only design change there has been in the body of the 700 action. That groove is for the guide rail that early 700s had. [/QUOTE]
