Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Bushing a bolt....

Anyone used Greg recently for this bushing service? I would very much like to get this done for my fast twist 243. What’s the turn around time?

Here is another guy I have worked with that does a great job for around $85, quick turn around. This guy goes by Carlsbad on accurate shooter, and Jerry is a heck of a machinist and great all around guy to work with.

Sorry for the delay my smith was slow to send the pictures that were begged for. This one is going to be a nosler 28 and the ring was really ugly ejection sucked. But he can literally fix anything. LOL some day I will catch on. ps that’s a bushing as well.

Once the rifle lands next week I will post pic of the finish product.

Keith,
thanks for the endorsement. I go by Carlsbad here also. I'll post some photos later. My business is word of mouth only. I don't want a backlog. I generally turn around a bushing or extractor replacement in less than a week.

A couple of notes about bushing.

1. Bushing isn't generally required because of a loose firing pin fit. Bushing is required because modern high pressure cartridges extrude brass into the firing pin hole. The area of the hole goes as the diameter of the hole squared so reducing the diameter reduces the force on the brass by the square of the ratio. So bushing a firing pin down to a nominal .062" allows the brass to have enough strength to bridge the firing pin hole and no extrusions (aka cratering) or punctured primers occur unless your load is excessively hot and you'll probably have other problems first.
2. Bushing doesn't affect accuracy other than cratering can cause hard cycling which will knock you off target for the next shot so it can show you down significantly. Bushing does affect the long term viability of your boltface. living with cratering will eventually erode your firing pin hole and you'll have to have it bushed then anyway. I'm always in favor of preventive maintenance rather than corrective.

Send me a private message if you want a quote but standard prices are $85 including return shipping for bolt bushing for remington or savage. $95 for others. Some hardened bolts I can't do and keep the price reasonable. Sako or M-16 style extractor install is $145 including extractor and return shipping.

Crying laughing as some can only wish. PS my smith will be on site in 24 hours to drink good whiskey and enjoy some killing facts dinner and all prepared by the better half. Hint.

A thick bushing oh that was funny

Never been tough to cypher who shoots and who don't.

It's obvious you DON'T.

Trybone,

It's your Imagination,simply Pretend with it as you must. Congratulations?!?

Pardon my having more bushed bolts,than you do IQ Points.

Hint...…………………...

C'mon Fug Stick - post some pics of the awards you've won shooting.

You won't because you can't. You are just a plinker. A 8 year old kid with a .22 at the city dump is a better shooter than you.

Trybone,

You be SURE to "convince" yourself,of all the things you NEED most to hear,via your Imagination and Pretend. Congratulations?!?

Pardon my shooting it all and then some.

Hint...……..

The 8 year old probably has nicer gear. Glass matters.

Might I suggest that you Whining Clueless Fhuqks,use your Imaginations and Pretend,in the manner which you NEED most. Congratulations?!?

Ooopsie!

Something like this....

Fhuqking HILARIOUS! Congratulations?!?

Oopsie!

Elk 👍. No doubt that ruffled feathers.

You know it did.

Nothing "ruffles" like Window Licker's feelings. Congratulations?!?

You Clueless Fhuqks couldn't muster a co-signer,for a fhuqking down payment,due your "jobs".

LAUGHING!
