Bolt locking lugs

[gerard488]

My axis bolt has a short locking lug on one side , tho whole thing rotates on the bolt, which side does the shorter lug have to be on. Rifle is a right hand 223. I don`t know if it makes a difference but I would rather be sure.
Thanks in advance.

long tail on the front baffel goes to the port on 223 or short action rounds

short tail goes to the port on long action rds 25 06 ect.

A quick way to find out....
If you're shooting long action ammo (30.06, .270, 25.06, etc...) and it won't fit - rotate the baffle. Short action will usually work either way.
