[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1241492, member: 4191"] I don't see anything obviously wrong from the pictures. What makes you suspect there's anything wrong with it in the first place? The surface isn't held to 0.00025" and polished to a high luster? The bolt face looks as good as any M70. Better than some I've seen. What do the bearing surfaces of the lugs look like? None of the photos shows the bearing facews of the lugs, so I don't understand the statement about lapping the lugs. You could examine the mating surfaces on the top of the action body where you think the top of the bolt is rough, and look for signs of galling. Unless you see something clearly worn to be significantly reduced in dimension, gouged, cracked, drilled, milled, welded, Jed Clampett modified - more than the cosmetic imperfection of the surface finish, shoot it. I don't know what you see that raises concern, and you haven't identified anything other than "worn". It's a factory action and bolt. It's not going to look like a custom aftermarket action. [/QUOTE]
