Re: Hi guy's can I put the Mossberg 4*4 bolt in my Mossberg
I prefer the plain ATR bolt over the fluted 4x4 bolt. I don't care about the looks, but it's easier to keep the smooth ATR bolt clean and the bigger thing is the fluted bolt's sharp edges of the fluting likes to grab the rear of the action when cycling the bolt... it doesn't operate as smoothly. Too bad about Mossberg's 'restricted' items. I'd love to get a cheap ATR in '06 or 270 and then buy a 338 (338 not available in the ATR) barrel and magnum bolt face. Would be a cheap and easy way to get an ATR in 338 win. With this combo, the Boyd's stocks would be a direct bolt on and the action of the ATR doesn't need the removable 4x4 magazine to feed the ammo.
