While looking it over i noticed that the previous owner had engraved some numbers on the bolt body. It is a chitty job with some ridges around the numbers. I was going to buy this for the action to make a build on. Can the ridges made by the engraving be ground down without affecting the integrity of the bolt? Deserve's got nuthin to do with it- Willam H Munny
