Slight delay. . .

I forgot that the bolt that I installed was listed on eBay.
Just shipped it to its new owner.

As shown, I have others, but need to sort through them and come up with a combination that has proper headspace.

I thought that yellow grease pencil looked familiar! Sorry for slowing the test! (But not for buying a nice FN bolt).

At least he didn't send you the bolt AFTER the destructive testing.

I don't expect much destruction.
That said, it wouldn't have been a good selling point!

I did find another bolt (German/Turk GEW) that headspaced with the same barrel.
Been very busy and haven't had a good window of time to build a fixture to hold the barreled action.

Did take the camera to the range for another trip, confirmed they will work as I hoped. Resolution is poor (they were cheap), but they will capture the action. (No pun intended...) Will also take some higher rez stills to fill in the gaps.
