Looks good.

Fits the factory Ruger receiver after some light sanding. But would not fit the Brownells receiver at all. Luckily I had another 10/22 to swap parts with.

Very Nice TiN Finish

The bolt arrived when promised. It is finished very nicely. I got the gold TiN color. My build is not completed yet, so I have not used the bolt in my Brownell's receiver. I cannot speak to the reliability, hence the 4 star review. I'll update when I utilize it.
