Here's a picture of the bolt face of my JP "matched" bolt that is in my LR 308 build that is based on a JP 20 inch barrel and low mass bolt carrier. The rifle now has approximately 200-300 rounds down the tube.
It appears that only two "ears" of the bolt are making any real contact with the face of the barrel assembly. My question is should I dress these two high spots to allow the entire bolt face to be squared up and make a more squared up contact with the barrel face?
I'm not sure how this would effect a semiauto but I'm assuming it would be the equivalent of truing up the action of a bolt gun-am I close or is this a non-factor in a semi?
