Hello there!

Just picked up an Axis II Precision in 223. So far, I love the thing and cannot wait to shoot it (though won't be able to for a while) which brings me to my question.

I noticed some barring on the front of the lugs (as in the pictures) when I took the rifle out of the box.

After lubricating and dry cycling the bolt, the marks have become more apparent.

I read somewhere that there should be some sort of clearance between the bolt lug face and the barrel (I recall 5 thou or so?) and was wondering if this was anything to worry about, or if it will wear in. I can't shoot her for some time so figured this would be the place to ask.
