[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3101389, member: 93138"] Jeweling the bolt body does have a purpose besides looks. The jeweling holds lubricant better than does a smooth or fluted bolt. Can argue if you want just how effective it is at that, but that is the usual reason, other than marketing, for doing it. Earliest jeweling known to me is on Miller Racing Engines and Bugatti firewalls - late 1920's into the start of WW II. In both of those cases it was purely cosmetic. I'm not a fan of fluted anything. When I see a spiral fluted barrel all that I can think of is "Coil Spring". [/QUOTE]
