As mentioned in an earlier thread ,I was waiting on a LRH. It arrived today . The bolt is a cast bolt. You can see where the bolt has been ground and worked on to get it to fit. My Knights are my best shooting guns and hopefully this one shoots as good as the old Knights. The bolt is tight fitting and doesn't go in or come out as smoothly as on my old Knights. It takes a little jiggling. I don't think the quality , at least of the bolt is comparable to the older Knights. I hope gun overall is comparable. I plan on mounting a scope tomorrow and trying it out. I will try to take a picture of the bolt
