LMT Bolt Damage
Has anyone ever had any experience with small dings or gouges on the face or lugs of a brand new bolt (especially one from LMT)? I purchased a 10.5 LMT upper recently. I took it shooting and cleaned it. Now I'm noticing two very small gouges/scratches. One on the lugs and one on the face near the extractor lip. Neither appear to be deep.
I know I'm probably not painting the best picture, so I'll try to get a photo up asap. I'm just wondering if it's normal, and more importantly, if it is safe to keep shooting.
Being an LMT, I'd like to think that quality control would have picked this up before it left the factory. I did shoot about 200 rds through it. Mostly reloads of my design, mixed with some mags of mil spec stuff my friend had brought out. The gun functioned flawlessly. We got it real hot, real quick. I doubt that our shooting caused the damage, but I don't want to rule it out until I get some feedback.
Any help would be appreciated...
