Smoothing Savage Bolt



Bolt Smoothing
Bolt operation can be a little stiff but this can be greatly eased and smoothed up by some judicious polishing of the "over-the-center" cam surfaces of the bolt and the other bearing surfaces shown below. In addition you can inspect and smooth up the inside of the bolt body.  You should also check the face of the ejector plunger. It should have no sharp edges where it contacts the base of the cartridge.  If the edges are sharp, lightly break them with a fine stone and polish the tip. Lubricate lightly and reassemble the bolt.
