    Is the case supposed to be pushed across the bolt face (during extraction) to the left sidewall so it can be ejected by friction?

    I thought the idea of the collared bolt face was to locate the case against an ejector post/spring during extraction/ ejection. Will the smaller diameter of the 5.56 stay on a full size boltface?
