Yep...that is normal. The dimpling as you call it, is caused by the vibratory tumbling operation used to finish and deburr. This usually causes a slight dish in the bolt face, but it is not a cause for great concern.
hi guys, my first post!
- just bought a brand new savage axis in .243
my question is simple (and I think I already know the answer)
should a brand new bolt face look like this?
I'm concerned specifically about the dimpling...
sorry for the ignorance, but this is the first brand new rifle I have ever owned. all my others have been 'pre loved'
I have read that some carbonisation is to be expected... but probably not as much as this...
any opinions appreciated...
cheers,
Mitch.
