How To Jewel A Rifle Bolt

[@daveb8457]

CO you are amazing. I wish I had your mechanical/design ability. What a beautiful finished product.

[@bluefalcon8084]

You know what i was kinda laughing at first but damn! That looks amazing. Nice work old timer.

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Thanks! I guess I can be called "old timer" since I just turned 60.

[@quadplay2591]

Much appreciated Sir! That's the video I was looking for. Well explained and well done.

[@-jimmyjames]

Looks Great man. Thanks for keeping this Work of Art moving forward Sir!

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Thanks!

[@kevinboyle8100]

Looks beautiful! I’m going to try it on a Mossberg 190 that my dad gave me recently.

[@ericschulze5641]

Best looking jeweled bolt I've ever seen

[@Trinder3]

Fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am in gunsmithing school at SDI learning about this skill this week. Nice work1

[@paulis7319]

Hi Nick! I'm also in SDI and currently in FTT 201. This reminds me a lot about some stuff I did years ago and it's bringing back memories! These classes are incredible and I highly recommend SDI for anyone wanting to get into gunsmithing or drones (I've also flown those before the FAA got involved). How's your current classes going?

[@jakegrubb7630]

Glad to see you back and healthy I enjoy your videos now get hack to hunting. & shooting.!! Lol. 🍻

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

I am anxious to get back out in the woods. Thanks for your comment, and Happy Holidays.

[@happymotoring4674]

Nice work.

[@douglasbattjes3991]

One of the best demonstrations of jeweling a bolt I seen, so complete from start to finish even on the jig. Guess you put the end of the bolt in the firing pine hole and the other in the bolt that you made in the other end. Time to put my mill to work and get some .33/40's bolts done, I know, the complete ones with matching S/N aren't going to be jeweled. Thank you so much. One Q, when you reverse the bolt to get the part that stops you from getting the jeweling done from bolt interference , and reverse the bolt are you turning the drill in the same direction? Everything is always turning in clockwise direction even after you reverse the bolt in the jig and 400 grit clover? I see they have grit to 1000 what one did you use ? Great job my friend👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

I'm sorry for not going into detail. To answer your questions.....I do indeed keep everything goin in the same direction. The rows of swirl markings overlap somewhat, and they all go clockwise.

Merry Christmas and God bless you and wife and family . 🇺🇲🇺🇲👍👍🙏🙏

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Thank you. Happy Holidays to you as well.

[@paulis7319]

I love how you carefully explain to keep things in line so it's a uniform pattern across the entire bolt. Have you ever done a criss-crossing pattern? I'm interested in how that would look and function.

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Never have. I always follow this pattern.

[@MRRizwan8074]

Very informative. Stay well! Much respect from 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Thanks for watching. Good health to you and yours as well.

[@deanmacka4975]

Great stuff mate it's good your back 👍 top video and I wish you and your family a great and merry Christmas

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

I hope you and yours have a happy holiday season as well!

[@normankaster917]

I'm looking into doing the same thing on my 98 that I just put a new 30-06 barrel on because the 8MM was not grouping well past 100 yards...I was holding off for a while but it I got my biggest buck last year at 130 yards and just about shot over top of him so it was the first and last buck taken with the MAUSER... But now I'm super excited about the new set up I've built. Thanks for taking the time, I will start looking into building a jig.

[@ericschulze5641]

I'm considering doing a vz24 from 8mm to 30-06 did you have to modify anything, it's a standard large ring Mauser 30-06 seems a little long

[@jorge66518]

Wonderful job!!!! Excelente jig, excelente idea to make on my k98 to! 👌

[@refuztosay9454]

If you were able to add more lighting to your set it would be beneficial.

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Right.

[@elund408]

Great Video, well explained. You need a couple of more lights so your not sitting in shadow. With the cost of steel if someone wants to duplicate this their best bet might be to buy an old bed frame at a second hand store for angle iron.

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

I think bed frame rails are probably too thin. This was some metal I had laying around, and I already had an idea of what I wanted to make.

[@rexljordan7487]

Mr.Cumberland, you are a very talented d.i.y.er!!! I suspect you are a very good mechanic also. From one mechanic to another; super job & love your .22 articles & squirrel hunts. God bless & merry Christmas & new yr.

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Thank you, and may you and your family have a blessed holiday season as well.

[@paulgoguen6778]

Can you make a video on how to make a bolt jeweling jig at home. Paul

[@Rancherinaz]

Awesome ! I wanna do one now .

[@davidjackson3976]

do you have a part number for the wire brush, and would you be willing to make the fixture or provide plans

[@OregonBladez]

Clover finer grit is 240 grit, Wheeler fine grit is 600 grit, which do you recommend?

[@jaimeg3388]

Do you do this for a cost ?Beautiful work !!!

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

I once considered starting a small gunsmithing shop, but other things got in the way. Now that I am approaching my retirement years, I am considering doing it again. If you have a rifle bolt in mind for this process, go to my home page and drop me an email.

[@V10DZLTREG]

Agreed, great video but better lighting would really set this video apart! Keep up the great craftsmanship!

[@deniseandmarkfirestine7443]

Sir, instead of a mechanic you should be a gunsmith, because your luv of firearms is written all over your work with firearms…

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

I've been tossing that idea around in my head for some time now. I plan on building a little shop where I can tinker with old guns.

[@Orbyboy12]

What materials of metal did you use to make the rig? I may be looking to make one for myself also.

[@douglasbattjes3991]

He said in the video, angle iron and aluminum ,

[@tyrrellmastropaolojr7972]

I want to jewel my bolt
