I'm currently working up a receiver and bolt. I'm wanting to know the clearance to put on my bolt (or raceway) in order to get a very smooth but not loose feeling action. Also, the engagement amount for lug lockup.
As a general practice, is the clearance put on the receiver?
Also have some other questions...
Receiver material is 4140. Would 17-4 work for the bolt? I can harden the materials to whichever hardness I need to.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
