Has worked for me. but I am only a dm coloni...


I've done exactly the same on an underhammer - A nut on both ends makes way more sense, even with a straight bolt.

I have a Borchardt/Helms Schuetzen rifle I built that has an articulated bolt with a nut on the end. Just had to work around a drop in the wrist that was problematic.
