donmarkey Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I got a new bolt jewelling jig and st juhad to test it out. Normally I prefer polished bolts but I figured my under $200 mauser was the perfect test canidate since I hadn't jeweled anything in probably 10 years. The indexing type jigs make it so much easier than I remember. But still no faster. This jig was built by Ted Blackburn. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donmarkey Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 The bolt looks great, what tool did you use? (that actually touched the bolt) Just an old school wire brush. I did heat shrink it to keep it from flaring out. It is in a spring loaded holder to keep the pressure even. I tried the tool that uses the cratex rods but didn't like the results as much.

I use mine once with not so good results. I never thought of heat shrink, I've usually used wire to try to stop the brush from spreading. That fixture seems to give some real uniform results.
