 I recently purchased a pre owned Rem 700 with some minor blemishes on the bolt but otherwise in very good shape. I've attempted to remedy the issue but without really getting aggressive with sanding, and messing up the factory finish pattern, it's not working so I'm going to have the bolt fluted, skeletonized and bead blasted.

 Are those of you that sent your bolts to LRI happy with their work?

Send it to Kampfeld custom. Stand up guy. Perfection when it comes to metal work. Some may want to keep them in mind for custom builds. Superior work for allot less than some so called "Premium builders".  Premium builder. Ha! Cracks me up! $6K for a 12hr spin up is a joke.

I agree. Kampfeld custom for the fluting. Maybe you could get it jeweled too? Just a thought.

I sent in 3 bolts and yes happy, no complaints.  I had some blemishes, and the machining took out some of those blemishes on one bolt.  It definitely made it look a little cleaner.

For the $30 it cost to do my wrought iron flute on my tikka at LRI I am very satisfied but my son had his 700 sendero bolt fluted,skeletonized & Target bolt knob cerakoted to match the barrel by kampfield & it is super cool. Depends on your budget I guess?🤷‍♂️

I've sent LRI three and they've done good work.

I've had Karl blueprint and bolt flute quite a few Rem 700 actions for me now, he does excellent work.  Karl is just a little ways up out of Sandpoint Id. so he's relatively local for me.  I've been to his place and met him in person multiple times, he's a he11 of a nice guy, has a very nice shop and equipment right there next to his house.

These are the two most recent Rem 700's Karl did for me.

Sounds like LRI does a nice job too.

Another vote for Kampfeld. Had him blueprint my last 700 build , along with flute the bolt , lighten the bolt handle and install a Badger knob. Couldn't be happier.

What was the turn around time from Kampfield?

I live close enough to Karl that shipping usually only takes a day and if I drop a bolt in the mail on Monday, I'll generally have it back by Friday or Monday of the following week. 

A couple years ago I dropped a bolt and a Rem 700 action off at Karl's place for him to flute the bolt on the one and blueprint and flute the bolt for that action.  Since it was close to where Karl lives I spent a couple days up at our place at Schweitzer then went home.  When I got home a couple days later, the items had just arrived and were in my mailbox.
