Bad Bolt Setup and Repair
Posted by Stan under Bad Bolt Series, Video
Bad Bolt Setup 1
We recently received this bolt fix. Because the bolt is such a good example of what the things you want to avoid. I put together this video. It’s a great example of what happens when the bolt is out of time or not in the correct position.

We encountered some more problems after machining the bolt handle off and installing the new Kiff bolt we found that the lugs were lapped at a angle and that we were loosing cam as we rotated the bolt. So, we decided to go back in and re-cut the integral lugs and true the bolt lugs.

Here we show you what was done to correct the bolt that was not installed correctly. The Kiff bolt (Pacific Precision) is a good system and laid out well. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to accurize his 700 Action.
