^^^ yeah but a bolt that scatters the light would mean the reflection is less intense in any given direction?
Comparing a normal silver bolt with a jewelled bolt that is.
If relection was a big deal I think we'd see black bolts on everything bar budget rifes? And maybe anti reflection grates on all scopes
Dunno, just thoughts
I jewelled my bolt to look purdy on a custom build.
If all I wanted was the slight increase in slipperiness (as jewelling may hold oil better) AND I had to pay $100 or whatever it is for jewelling, I'd rather spend the $100 on getting the bolt done in Cerakote Microslick black....
