[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2721851, member: 120719"] I haven't heard of such a thing; not to say that it can't happen, just that I haven't heard if it as of yet. I own 7 A-Bolts, along with a bunch of other actions of various types. I have A-Bolts in 338 WM and 375 H&H; both are 20+ years old and have seen a fare amount of use. AFAIK, they haven't evinced evidence of bolt damage. I don't generally use the A-Bolts for high volume shooting, but I like the A-Bolts for hunting due to thier thumb safety that locks the bolt down and their magazine that's fitted to the bottom plate, as it keeps the mags from coming out accidentally and from dropping in the snow/mud when taking them out with cold hands. As another poster stated, it's hard to imagine one lug shearing off without at least significant damage to the other 2. Please post up the disposition when you hear back from Browning. [/QUOTE]
