I think its either a slight defect in the firing pin aperture in the bolt face (New bolt faces are relatively inexpensive. Vendors on this site have them as does MidwayUSA and other similar locations)or insufficient firing pin protrusion (Firing pin protrusion can be a relatively easy adjustment by the end user. Do a search on the forum and you should be able to find the information.) . Its not bad, but its there and perhaps the first owner saw the cratered primers and got scared. My good fortune I guess!
