Aaron - I'm sorry your thread kind of got hi-jacked with other topics.
IMHO - It would be a mistake to put a 'high polish' on your bolt. Given the patina that is present on your other parts, a bright polished bolt would look real odd. I would recommend you take a 2" X 1" piece of green scotch-brite pad, damped it with Hoppe's or penetrating oil, and burnish your Bolt, following the machined contours and avoid 'rounding' sharp edges. BTW - Your photo shows that your Bolt has been fitted with a commercial Buehler Safety. This is a nice feature if you use a scope on your Krag. |
