[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2408721, member: 17889"] Bolt head wear is not consistent with the condition of the bolt body. Roll pin appears to possibly have been drifted with a punch....maybe changed......not characteristic of a new rifle. Can you see the mating lugs in the receiver? Do they match the bolt head condition? I would contact Mossberg Customer Service, sharing pictures for their input. Is the store where purchased an authorized Mossberg retailer? Major concerns are proper tight lockup and proper headspacing. Are there any matching numbers on the bolt/head and receiver? Don't recall if Mossberg number matches their parts. [/QUOTE]
