    Can you pm me who checked it
    Lol yea I probably do . But the etching is only after being used . If it's hard to believe yous all need to see it for yourselves. There's no point trying to convince me when I've seen it for myself in 2 different shops .

    It didn't strike you as odd that only x bolts apparently get gas cut bolts?

    Brass damage ?? Help

    I think I see what they are telling you, and they are probably correct, that the headspace is fine and that the etching is not deep enough to cause any issues with function.

    however, your brand new rifle has been damaged by some ammo they sold you, albeit cosmetic, I would still want it rectified.

    Put it this way, you buy a brand new car and the dealership sell you a car care kit to clean it, the soap eats your paint and it starts peeling, you take it back and they check it over and tell you "nothing wrong with it mechanically, still safe to drive." They then show you 2 others with the same issue to prove this is normal. A mechanic also tells you it's fine to drive.
    Would you be happy?

    The thing is they do have something to gain, the gunshop will probably have another damaged x-bolt they will now have to try and sell, along with the ones they showed you. Perhaps points to a bad batch of ammo that they have been selling?

    As for the gunsmith, I suspect he was more referring to the fact that the headspace is ok and the damage to the bolt is cosmetic.
    I am pretty confident he will not deny that there is damage.

    Mate, no offense but the shop has got away with giving you a $40-50 box of ammo as opposed to forking out $800-900 to replace your bolt which you are well within your rights to demand. That is why people are saying you got conned.

    Then I suggest you go buy as much superformance ammo as you can and go shoot as much as you can.

    Also a gunsmith told me that second hand x bolts like their ammo warm so best you put it on the dash with the heater on on the way to the range.

    Which is exactly what everyone has been telling you!
    It will be a hassle for the gunshop, as the rifle is still safe they are happy to palm you off and not have to deal with it.

    There are none so blind.....
