My smith cut recesses in the M-70 bolt, milled scrap SS barrel tips to fit the recesses. He JB welded these pieces in place, then used his mill to cut the slightly oblong Borden's Bumps. The wide part travels down the action raceways and when the bolt is closed, there is very tight clearence up and down, front and back action rings. The action has been blueprinted. I'd never seen that done to a pre-64.

greg tannel does that with his action true jobs. I have a remington custom he worked over that has slight cams. They recut the action slightly oversize then the cams take up the tolerances when they close. however I wouldn't spend that much money on a remington thats why I got a bat.
