Filled the hole on my CZ bolt handle

[machinistbutler]

Got tired of looking at the hole on my bolt so I made a bronze plug to fill it in.Took about 15-20 minutes and I think it improves the look of the bolt.

Nice work. What model/caliber is it?

It is the 550 american in 375 H&H.I really like the rifle.

Not my sort of thing personally... but I can see how other people can appreciate the look of it.

Good job

Nicely done, I've considered something along that line as well - I'm just not there yet.

not a fan of the bronze...but I always hated how the hole was cut...they cut into my hand as I function the bolt. I bet it's Way more comfortable to use now...

Edit to add: I like Bronze for Cymbals...not gun parts...

Just because you earn a living as a hand and foot model doesn't mean you should make fun of the rest of us!

Here is a pic of Todbartell modelling one of his very successful inventions:

Good one!

Actually, I can't make up my mind on a filler material - I had considered using walrus ivory, but now that the rifle has a glass stock I don't think that will work. Besides, I've gotta clean my finger nails.
