post some LRI bolt fluting pics

[davescarp]

Think I'm going to send my bolt to LRI to have it fluted. their pics of the different patterns leave a little to be desired, so please offer up some pics or thoughts about bolt fluting in general. My view is that it's pretty cheap and I like the notion of a little customization on a rifle that everyone else owns too. yeah, it's a tikka 6.5 haha

I dont remember if this was a standard or high helix. They also threaded the handle and did the cerakote. Very reasonable pricing and good turn around time. This was several years ago.

This was the “wrought iron” pattern on my tikka.

So, many are familiar with top notch rifle builders and stock makers... Difference with Long Rifles Inc. is you get your stuff back fast and they use a cool software that keeps you up to speed on orders.

Pic is a vanilla helix flute on a 700 ADL bolt + Cerakote. All I can say is it turned out perfect, didn't pay much, and it didn't take very long.

Got the same one on two of mine. Love it.
Great work, fast turn around.

Did they polish it for you?

If they did they didn’t tell me. That’s how it came back to me. So I assume they didn’t?

Where did you get the bolt knob?

Looks like a Lumley knob to me.

Did this affect the smoothness of the bolt travel?
