Hey Ed send it back to remington so they can send it back to you with a note saying the bolt face is in spec or better than spec. ::)

The 1943 Remington emergency war time production 03-A3 I had was machined better than what they are producing today. And the shame of it is the two older Remington 700 I had were better quality. Don't get me wrong I'm 61 years old and have chronologically gifted eyesight and didn't even see the bolt defects until I took the bolt photo and enlarged it. I'm thinking about trading it in on another Savage/Stevens rifle which I discovered far to late in life. :'(Quote:

Yes I'm showing you the "FRONT" of the bolt face to show the defects on the bolt face, pits and the inward tapered firing pin hole. I'm "NOT" showing the "REAR" of the locking lugs where they contact the receiver lug recesses. Please note that not everyone who posts here is brain dead and doesn't know how a bolt action rifle locks up. ::)Quote:
Are you showing us the fronts of the lugs?
The fronts of the lugs help with camming when the shell is extracted.
As far as I know the fronts do not need to touch evenly or even at all, just the backs where they are holding the pressure when the rifle fires.

Or I don't know why the Savage line of bolt action rifles always have both lugs touching equally?????

If i was a bit confused there may have been others that were also, now I see exactly what your point was.

Sometimes my two dyslexic fingers do not type clearly, please do not worry about it I may have been having a bad day and my under ware may have been too tight.
What I'm saying next is because of your home location, my dad was stationed at Whidbey Island Washington during the Korean war and Drank Olympia beer as long as he could find it.
