[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1090568, member: 2736"] Thanks for the pictures. That is what I thought it might look like and a good reference for others to look at/for when buying a action. I am in the habit of looking at all bolt contact surfaces because I blueprint all of the actions I re barrel and want to see how well the lugs fit the receiver. The wear on the outside of the bolt is unusual and a flag to some but I can understand how that could be overlooked or missed. When blueprinting an action, the purpose is to have a square and true contact between the bolt lugs and the receiver lugs with 100% contact. this helps accuracy and extends head space life. Head space would have definitely changed in this action with no more contact surface that it had also with the contact out on the end the chances of bolt set back would be good. Look on the bright side though even though you have money invested in an action that IMO can't be used, you have educated a lot of people and by questioning what you had, And you may have prevented a situation for yourself and others. I for one am glad you caught it and brought it to everyone's attention. but sorry you spent the money and may loose it. Thanks again J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
