Bolt shrouds

[Pete Wass]

Years ago I saw a picture of a Rem 700 type bolt shroud that was made from, I think , Teflon. Is the person who owns it still around and could perhaps share if they made it or acquired it?

Thanks

Pete, Jackie Schmidt and Gene Bukys made some from Delrin. Jackie has posted pics of his. -Al

There are 3d printed models freely available if you know someone who has a 3d printer.

I do know someone and will consider asking him to make me some. Thanks.

I have several delrin shrouds that Gene made. We used them to replace the heavy SS shrouds that came on Farley actions. After many thousands of rounds there is absolutely zero wear on them.

We have made them from Torlon. Much better than Delrin!

I have used Torlon in other applications, particularly for its dimensional stability over a wide temperature range (-40 to +125C), what are it's advantages over Delrin in this application?
