I just wanted to say that I only recently discovered your videos and I thank you for taking the time to share some of this good information. I'm definitely trying to "carry on the torch" so to speak of folks like yourself.

Take care and bless you and yours.

Jim,

Yes, I will show a bolt face repair in the very near future.

@MillerMcNamm thats because it has no firing pin or spring in it

[MillerMcNamm]

that bolt looks super smooth to operate. though the lugs locking in look worryingly easy to open.

what type of cleaner did you use to polish this

[keefer2111]

Thanks for showing us how to do this kind of work, I turn 03 Springfields into tack drivers. I love to show off at 200 yards and see the look on the faces of the guys with new $1000 dollar rifles.

Thankyou for showing a series of fantastic videos.

You sir are indeed a skilled craftsman and a pleasure to watch.

If possible would you be able to show a video or comment how the face of a bolt is repaired?

When I was younger I used some very hot loads in my rifle, consequently the face of the bolt has been pitted from the primer being flattened against the bolt face.

How would this be repaired by you as I'm sure there are many reloaders who may of damaged their bolts.
