Bolt Checkering

[jonahpach]

Last saturday I got bored with my IOF .315 and decided to try my hand with bolt checkering.. (If I didnt succeed I could always lop the top off like the lee speed bolt.. )

Using my No.? triangular needle file I tried out a few crossed lines to see how they would look...


hmm.. interesting no??


2 days later


Another two days later Abrakadabra! ..oh my aching fingers..



(I know I missed out a few lines here and there but It's just been too long

Guess I need to get a betterway to align the lines instead of just eyeballing them..

Well done,Jonah.A checkered bolt knob is very pleasing to the eye.
