510,511,512 bolt finish

Post by Guest »

I'm currently restoring a model 512 and cannot tell(and never could)how a correct bolt should be finished. It appears that the center section is case hardened. Anyone with a mint bolt help out? Thanks Dan Wright

Dan:

It depends on the age of the gun. The earlier ones were casehardened. Later they were part blued & part white.

I would have found your inquiry quicker if it was under Post 1898 Rifles.
