ARCH - Combat bolt questions...

[Harry C. Billings]

In Ansteorra the head must be 1 inch long with the hole for the shaft 1/2
inch deep. Drill it the same diamiter as the shaft and force the shaft into
it. Don't forget to round off the front edge of the head with a 1/4 inch
round over bit in your router.
