All these together will give a very smooth, and easily operated bolt with minimal effort. I do have a modified firing pin spring as well, although I’m looking for replacement other than clipped stock spring.
Another thing guys...I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel here. I know so much of this has been done by others. These are simply little projects I do to occupy the bit of time I may have from day to day, without mind numbing pain. That’s all. None of this is to sell as we talked of, it’s just not cost effective. Machining Titanium & Tungsten is major PITA! But has a “coolness” factor is all.
I’m no professional manufacturer guys. I don’t have a business or even an FFL. I’m just a pretty darn capable gunsmith/builder and machinist. A hobbyist....but it’s all I do! I like sharing what I know & can do, with other enthusiasts.
