When building a large caliber or heavy recoiling rifle, crossbolts are typically used to reinforce the action area of the rifle stock to prevent cracking or splitting. Watch along as Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, installs a pair of custom-made crossbolts in the stock for his Nearly Perfect Safari Rifle. Complete with brass accents and topped with ebony plugs, these crossbolts are both a functional and beautiful addition to any wood rifle stock.

This f#@% song
Awesome video!
Only complaint I have would be the music.
Also hasn't the use of Ebony been outlawed?
Brass WHAT???
Good video,but man the music is mind numbing,can it!!!
How can i get some of them cross bolts
I enjoy your tutorials but mate that music nearly does my head in.Thankyou
Just did my first attempt at this on a custom built M98 in 8×57. I almost duplicated this process but used all brass and left the 5/16 plug-nut fully exposed and contoured the same way as Larry did his ebony plugs. I am very happy with the results. Wish I could show the pictures.
I'm watching guns but listening to the Lion King…..I don't know how I feel right now………
this mam is the bob ross of fire arms
I made it too. Want to know how ? just go to WoodPrix webpage.
Larry is the best. Many thanks for the video. I'm getting ready to order the parts to repair and reinforce my rifle stock.
Sounds like we're at PF Changs
What's the name of Venice red
Larry is awesome!
There is no other video for the other method of re inforcing the stock
The dent next to the trigger on the kimber is irritating.

Depends on what kind of action you're using.
I'd recommend putting them in if you're taking an old Lee action and putting it in a new, one-piece sporter stock.
Mr. Lee was an excellent and incredibly forward-thinking designer, but one thing he nearly universally neglected to include in his rifles was a recoil lug. This led to the stocks on a number of M1985 Lee Navys splitting around the action, and is the reason why the No.1 and No.4 Rifles have a separate stock and fore-end.
If you're using using an old BSA P-14 sporter and you want to put it in a new one-piece stock, I would recommend the same thing, as I believe that they don't have any recoil lug either, and they usually come from the factory with a single crossbolt in front of the magazine.
If you're using any other kind of action which does have a recoil lug, I would say that crossbolts aren't necessary, seeing as you really only begin to see them on rifles that produce around 4000J, and even the hottest .303 loads only shoot around 3500J.
