Having read of the 'etching' problem that has been discussed above - a lot of the comments above, are throwaway lines that are purely to display the posters preference for X brand of rifle/firearm and their favourite calibre - are usually tongue in cheek replies - not always directed at you personally.
Don't worry buddy, I've been on the receiving end of 'being put in my place' by some of the Good Buggers above.
Let it go mate - these guys were offering various explanations for similar events they've seen or experienced.
Plus there'll be a certain amount of BS in the commentaries, which they hope will 'encourage' you to sell it cheap on the 'Buy, Sell, Swap' forum.
That way they'll get a near new cheapie and a big smile for pulling the wool over your eyes
Bye the bye - the 'smoke ring' around my firing pin?
Years of shooting and poor cleaning practise - scratched the smoke ring with the tip of my finger nail - no etching.
Several of the senior members here are practising gunsmiths and retailers, so their input is designed to help a 'newbie' make a decision on a course of action.
A second opinion always helps - you've received 10 pages of assistance from a lot of experienced people.
Rubbishing them and indulging in name calling will block this very excellent resource from helping you out in future

Absolutely mate and I agree with some of what you're saying but a lot the opinions are rubbish and trying to get a bite and acting like know it all kids so that's how I'm treating them . They can't handle that I haven't made a huge scene in the shops demanding some full replacement over a bit of bolt etching even after 3 professionals have given it the thumbs up . It's a load of crap to me so I'll just continue to treat these know it Alls how they behave
