hi,

i have a m17 rechambered for .243. The face of the bolt has some pitting around the firing pin hole. The primer of a fired case expands into the pitting and then the extra length makes it difficult to insert in the reloading press.

So My question is, can the bolt face be built back up and machined to the right spec's or do I put up with it?

cheers
