How smooth can the bolt be made by polishing the raceways? I only ask because mine has felt quite stiff since day one. Or are there any other ways of smoothing up the action?
Many thanks,
Don

Unless it is causing functional problems, I would just use it more. They polish themselves in with time and use.

Boggit,
Either method above will sort the inital 'roughness' of the action. I've found that using the car engine oil treatment STP as the re-build lube gives a better feel and will last longer being designed to 'stick' to metals as opposed to mineral based oils. (BTW STP is a very good case resizing lube, has taken over from my standard Imperial wax)
