There is much discussion about Bolts on the forum. Is there a solution that a bolt from an older rifle may be bathed in to loosen years of dried oils & lubricants. This would helpful as the disassembly of action bolts can be a daunting task for many Sako owners. I have a Browning Auto 5 -12 Ga.. shot gun and at the end of the quail season here in GA I would remove the butt stock & bath the entire action in gasoline ( outside of course) while working the action bolt several times. All sorts of seeds & trash would come out. I repeated this several times over a few days. Then let the drain a few days then reoil the action & allow it to drain again a few days. Could something like this be done with a bolt?
Fact is when I was younger I would follow flushing quail inti some of the thickest covers & subject myself, guns & dogs to places where a sane person would avoid!!
Note: Gasoline was 18-25 cents/ gallon then! (how much is your dollar worth??)
