Cracked Right Lug........

[painter777]

Another morning with the hum of a snow thrower in my ear.
So only had time today to pull the bolt apart, clean it and grab a few pictures.
I can see that the crack travels across the top, along the back edge of the Rgt lug on to the hole for the Extractors' stem.
Crack continues thru the stem hole passing along the hole the firing pin travels thru.
Really hard to get pics of inside this area, but think I've got em.
Left lug seems fine to me.
The webbing below the Extractor stayed in tact, probably the reason it didn't fly apart (yet)
Hope to inspect the Receivers' inner rails in the next day or so.

Not trying to bore y'all, but hoping you'll keep a thought of this in a distant corner of your mind. My eyes aren't the best but I feel really fortunate to have seen this. A cracked bolt was the last thing on my mind that particular day. Could have very easily been over looked. To be honest, It wasn't until I felt the raised edge (only felt from one direction) that I was sure it was cracked.

Cheers,
