HiCal SKS Bolt Lightening / Milling Service

Improve the handling and cycling characteristics of your SKS with our professional bolt lightening service.

milling service reduces the reciprocating mass of the bolt, helping reduce felt movement during cycling, improve recoil control, and reduce overall weight.

Benefits of Bolt Lightening

Reducing the weight of the reciprocating bolt can provide:

• Improved recoil control
• Reduced reciprocating mass
• Reduced overall firearm weight
• Faster cycling of the action
• Improved handling during rapid fire
• Allows magazine changes with the bolt in the forward position, depending on the magazine system and setup

Lightening the bolt reduces reciprocating mass, which can help improve recoil control, reduce overall weight, and improve the cycling characteristics of the action.

Does bolt lightening reduce recoil?

Reducing reciprocating mass can help reduce the movement generated by the cycling action and may improve the shooter’s perception and control of recoil.

Can I change magazines with the bolt forward?

This modification can allow magazine changes with the bolt in the forward position, depending on the magazine system and specific SKS configuration.

How much material is removed?
