Primer 014: Ross Rifle Mark III (by C&Rsenal)

[flying pig]

I've been nursing a bolt head with a cracked lug for over a year now. I've been watching it closely for signs of further cracking. While it hasn't become worse, the damage is still there...

I have a box of bolt heads with broken lugs, like a half dozen of them.

I also have a rifle with a deformed cracked bolt head that I keep threatening to replace the head on. I dressed it up with a file, and it has been holding up for a couple years now.

I have three beat bolt heads in my junk box that were replaced sometime over last 100 years.

And then there are another eleven rifles in the safe with M-10 actions and a couple spare bolts with bolt heads that are in great shape.

Replace your bolt head. You`ll be good for another 100 years or so.

Could you share some up close photos of the cracking and breakage? It would be helpful to see what these things do when they begin to go.
