All I'm saying is: I suspect if there was a significant mechanical/tolerance issue it would have manifested itself more rapidly and had other side affects besides only bolt peening in specific points. Not saying I'm right in this particular case.
If you think it is common to have issues with the items you've mentioned (parts geometry and tolerances) and not notice any other effects, then it's definitely a possibility.
A discussion of statistical probabilities doesn’t really speak to this specific issue.
I’ve stated that you cannot achieve the physical relationship between the bolt lugs and barrel extension if all parts are in spec. I don’t understand the impetus to rule out all variables other than the bolt without picking up a set of gauges and calipers. I have said to scrutinize everything.
I can’t speak to a person’s threshold to “notice” something.
