I took my mixmaster inland out to the desert last Saturday. After shooting the gun about 30 times the oprod-side bolt lug sheared off spilling the extractor and ejector w/spring stayed in the mag. well. The receiver and stock was not damaged at all. My son who was shooting at the time was not injured.
We were using CMPAguilla (sp?) ammo and the gun was in really nice condition and I have shot it many times before without mishap.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is aguilla ammo very high pressure? I am looking for a nice condition bolt to replace the destroyed one. Anyone know of a good source? What should I look for or consider when buying a replacement bolt.
Regards
