Ever take a look at an ar15/ar18/aug/scar/g36/etc bolt? 6 to 7 lugs....
Ever take a look at an ak/xcr/sig/etc bolt? Usually has 2 or 3 lugs....
Notice anything else? I notice that the 6/7 lug bolts have lugs that are alot shorter than the 2/3 lug bolts, by 1.5x to 2x just by eye balling.
I'd bet that if those 2/3 lug bolts had shorter lugs, we would see some lugs shearing off over time. I'd also bet that if 6/7 lug bolts had longer lugs, we would see far less lug shearing issues like those found in the M4.
What do you guys think?
