I wonder if anybody out there is doing any work on these bolts to slim them down a bit? It certainly looks like there is plenty of material in that area of the bolt and slimming them down a bit wouldn't seem to hurt a thing.


James Calhoon offers the lowest rings for a 527, and a recontoured bolt handle. Good guy, located in Havre, MT, and good prices for the quality that you are getting.


Thanks for the link. I checked into it, just what I wanted and as you said, reasonably priced.
