[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2964524, member: 124909"] As an aside to the Browning "Booger" that the bolt apparently rides on. I know very little about that booger but have a little story. I grew up on a farm and have run combines now for close to 35 years. At first, the header skids and bottom plates were all metal. These plates when cutting soybeans are in almost constant contact or made frequent contact with the ground, stubble, and occasional unseen rocks.They bent, wore, rusted, took a beating, and had to be reshaped, repaired, or replaced fairly often. Fast forward and we got a new combine and lo and behold it had polymer skids. We all laughed and bet they wouldn't last a week. Those things turned out to be tough as a hogs snout. You couldn't wear them out. Maybe this little button will be the same way. I have had some issues with bolt buffers on shotguns wearing out or being damaged but this little button shouldn't be taking that kind of abuse and should last. [/QUOTE]
