scott63 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Here is the bolt stop for my "Free Swede". I cut off the checkered section of the cocking piece, ground the little projection off the bolt stop and silver soldered it in place. Some filing, cold blue and Ta da! I'm pretty sure I read about this somewhere long ago and I like it.........Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bja105 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Those are two nice looking bolt stops. JHR, is yours jeweled, then blued, or blued, then jeweled? Or is it just lighting and reflection that makes part of the spring dark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donmarkey Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Looks great, now I have something else on my list to try. -Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montea6b Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Now I know what to do with that checkered bit on the cocking piece! Thanks for the idea, and nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinist1 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 This is how I did the bolt stop on my 1909 Argentino Mauser. I hope it shows. I checker the end of the bolt stop with a 20LPI file. It makes a good gripping surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checker the end of the bolt stop with a 20LPI file. It makes a good gripping surface. I've done a few that way, they look good. But they tend to dull my files. So I think I'll try the raised pad next. I heard from somewhere you can use pieces of a checker buttplate and solder them on like Scott did. -Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyjim Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 an idea i've had for a bolt stop is cut about 3/8 off the end of a colt 1911 hammer then tig or solder it to the back of the bolt stop. to remove the bolt you would press in on the back of the bolt stop instead of pulling out on the front of it.
