Outstanding, Surpmil! What does the other lug look like? No problems, yes? So all the load was probably absorbed by the one small lug, I reckon.

Interesting dicolouration at the front. I wonder if there was already a partial failure existing when the bolt was refinished, or...?

No sign of any damage to the main lug, and you'd blow the rifle apart long before you made that lug fail. I think the broken lug might in the box too, I'll see.
