I'm not on old mate peppers side but I have read the entirety of both threads.

Some people can't articulate thoughts very well and I think pepper is one..

To be fair I don't think I would bother going through the hassles of getting my bolt replaced over some minor etching, i just really wouldn't have the time to fight it, sure you may loose a couple hundy on resale but who really cares, his choice.

Time = $$

If he cared about resale he would of bought a tikka. The gun functions fine and is safe

I wouldn't buy anything from the shop ever again and I would make them well aware they are idiots and probably get them to admit they are idiots

That's about it

Good question.

I'd rather banter over this teeny tiny issue on the page than go into a shop looking like a complete idiot asking for a bolt replacement when they pull out 2 second hand x bolts and it's got the same marks . It's just a bit of spilt milk a mate . If a gunsmith gives it the all clear why the fuck would I listen to majority of these idiots . I'll carry on dishing it out to these boys for some entertainment

Sweet as

Just so you are clear tho and I hope you are because it's been said about 10 times in different words on the other thread.

Bolt etching (gas cut metal) is not normal

The only way this is caused is by gas leaking around the primer (not normal)

The only way gas leaks around the primer is dodgy factory ammo/components (your case) or extremely hot reloads

I have personally owned and sold a 2nd hand xbolt, it's not normal to have gas cutting as this thread has showed.

It is normal to have a gas ring (carbon) slightly proud of bolt face (not indented). That is normal on all rifles. It's a bastard to clean.

I find it remarkable that supposedly two gunsmiths are saying gas cutting on a bolt is normal. I can only assume you are getting your terminology wrong or they haven't actually looked closely or run a pin over the bolt face.

Ok yes I attempted to clean the ring but unfortunately it is etched into the bolt face and cannot be removed by cleaning. Not happy!

You used the word etched first

We will go with what they say and not you...
