One of my shotguns has a bolt too. In my case the idiot who did it used the ugliest thing he had, a ten body piece of all-thread with a nut on each end. mad Thanks for the idea Chuck. I'll mention this to my stock man.


Actually, mine at least was tastefully done and doesn't look terrible. I see absolutely no cracks or evidence of repaired cracks on the exterior so I am thinking at this point that someone did it as "preventative medicine". I will be removing the stock shortly to have a look so that will tell the story.
