    Sorry, I should have been more specific. Marr or scratch the bottom ramp lip or rim on the face of the bolt.i can only go by what I've read, because I refuse to use them since you have to practically rip the magazine out letting the bolt slam home. That's what I meant by it's not a true hold open. I'm sure it has its uses to some, but not to me
