[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 774987, member: 39764"] It hasn't compromised the firing pin passage and it's not too far up on the bolt face. A competent smith or even (and probably better) a tool and die shop when they do die rework will have the tools and experience in smoothing out the ridge and returning you to a flat face. Again, a good die repair person with a micro grinder and appropriate bit/stone could smooth that in a minute. You will loose the parkerizing no matter what, however. Depending on your seat length and headspace you might find bolt cycling to become easier, not that I see any brass on the face itself. [/QUOTE]
