“I'll bet this guy never saw or felt this coming’ I have a bolt identical to the bolt pictured in the “I'll bet this guy never saw or felt this coming” lugs sheared off, nothing before, then all of a sudden and at once it lay in a heap, no warranty, warranty was gone long before the bolt face was opened, the third lug worked and we should all give thanks to Paul Mauser, rather than draw conclusions I decided there was no set back or compression so I considered it was sudden shock, something like ‘BG’ instead of ‘baaaaaannnnnngggg’, yes, something like meets and or exceeds, the BG exceeded the ability of the lugs to absorb the sudden shock.
Reminds me of the reloader/shooter that feed his Weatherby in 300 Win Mag a steady diet of reduced loads, he just insisted he must have feed his rifle a double charge and I do not believe it was the last round he fired that rendered his rifle scrap, I believe it was the accumulation of all the reduced loads that split his receiver, and, no compression or set back, just a pile of parts.
And not all Mauser bolts have one standard.
