moto727 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Here are a couple pictures from milling the bolt down on my benelli. A big thanks goes out to tod (00bullet) for giving me the specs on how much to mill off. I left a little material at the back of the bolt, some people machine it perfectly flat. As for shooting differences, there is a noticeable difference and it looks pretty awesome too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimMTP Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Very nice. What is the noticeable difference? Less recoil, quicker, handle lighter loads, etc... Just curious as I'm debating sending mine to Benny for the same thing along with the loading port bevel. Edited July 7, 2010 by TimMTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as I'm debating sending mine to Benny for the same thing along with the loading port bevel. The muzzle doesnt rise up as quickly. Ive heard that it will handle lighter loads but ive never had a problem with them in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Rob Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Does the DMW's Speedbar bolt release work well? Also, what's CWW Edited July 8, 2010 by J-Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyro Shooter Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Yes . . .Very well advantage is that is quick and easy to put on and remove. no removal, drilling or tapping of the latch release bar button, no little screws to snap off trying to keep a large plastic bar from spinning. but this is all just my opinion, but i don't think i'm wrong on this one.

Phil G Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Finished product looks great. The logo is a nice touch. What is the weight of the bolt after milling ? Do you know how much weight was removed ? Thanks Phil G Edited July 8, 2010 by Phil G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadeslade Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 How is that gun running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Flatley Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Do you just mill the bolt or do you have to replace springs etc? I would like to do it but being in the UK it isn’t that easy. No one over here does it! Looks a nice job and I hope it serves you well. Kind regards Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Looks great! How did you get that logo on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moto727 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 The gun is running great, it survived the Pan-am and havent had any problems with it. I didnt change any springs, just milled the bolt. The logo was laser etched by a friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike cyrwus Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Biggest thing that a lightened bolt did for me was increase bolt speed/decrease cycling time. I cant outrun the trigger on the gun now, and it gets me closer to pistol like splits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadeslade Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Nice new avatar Jesse! There is a little bit more to lightening a bolt carrier than just milling off weight. Symmetry, leaving a grip surface for firing pin retaining pin O ring, and cutting the groove on the bottom all the way to the end to prevent death jams, to name the big ones. I have a stock M1Super 90 with 21" VR barrel that is amazingly fast, and smooth. WIth the lightened bolts,recoil is unchanging but is distributed smoothly, rather than abruptly and may be perceived as less. I have compared lightened recoil springs, lightened trigger springs, and the action is smoother with the light springs. Of course if you use blaster shells, it makes no difference. 'Es machts nichts" I like to practice with 2 3/4 dram loads and it is easier on the shoulder. Another good reason to lighten. This line of threads is fascinating to me, and indicates that there is no perfect new alternative to the M1 Super 90. DVC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
