Rem 700 bolt manufacturing
« on: March 29, 2005, 06:47:33 PM »
Is the head made as a seperate piece from the body and then pressed together?
There is a faint line behind the lugs that look like it may be a seam between two parts. Can someone confirm that this is how the bolts are made or can you describe how they are actually made and what the groove is if not a seam?

the bolt is 3 main components.
The body, the handle and the lugs.
The line you see is silver solder.  Since the lugs take the thrust of the cartridge there's no real stress on this junction other than the rotation needed to lock/unlock the bolt.
