[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1155118, member: 12"] Is not "considerably more expensive". The PTG one piece bolt with M16 cut is $146-307 depending on which bolt and M16 extractor kit is $21, PTG firing pin assembly is $46. Better knobs for as little as $20. You can sell the old remington bolt for $150 and add the $130 or more for a local smith to make the cut and install the M16. So maybe $50-100 difference and comes already threaded for new bolt knob which is at least another $50 if you have it done. Plus their firing pin assembly is better than the Remington. Plus even if it was a little more expensive I will take reliability and better PTG bolt always over the pittance of extra cost even if that was true. Been there done that to many times to fall for that BS of $500 PTG bolts as the norm, but I have seen **** near that much spent on modifying a **** Remington bolt with facing, fluting, knobs, new extractor etc. It is amazing that guys will spend thousands on scopes, barrels, etc and try to scrimp (to save $50-100) on the heart of the setup, the bolt and action with something less reliable on a hunt that might cost them thousands again. Been burned twice on **** riveted extractors on Remington bolts and never again. But each to his own until they live and learn. [/QUOTE]
