A question for any Accuracy International AW Magnum .338LM shooters
I need to know the diameter of the bolt body please, I have managed to delete the relevant line from my spread sheet and I cannot remember if it is 20,0mm or 22,0mm....

It should be the same as a 300 win mag. I'll have a measure up in the morning for you.

Ovenpaa, if you need to know for a certain .338 rod guide you are making, you can look at the rifle itself if you want. Just noticed NCB on your profile. My local club ! Just 15 minutes down the road

Sapper, we are 20 minutes away so that is also a good plan, when are you down there next?
I have actually made it however I now have a seed of doubt in my mind and I would hate to ship it out only to discover I have machined it to the wrong diameter. We are planning on heading down late afternoon/early evening to zero a rifle in the tunnel however that is very short notice.

Is this for your rifle by any chance?

Sounds like a plan. I could do late afternoon / early evening this week except Wednesday and Friday. failing that i can pop over to you if that suits. I am flexible other days ( working for yourself has it's benefits )
