The Army wants all of the older bolts guns turned in. They are issuing Garands, which they have a small parts float. There are no spare Kragicon bolts or '03 bolts around. I understand CMPicon is now supporting this program and they are very good about helping out Vet organizations. I am not so sure what is shameful, but if you say so, then I'll agree. Mind you, I served in Viet Nam and am rather pro-vet.
