Bolt Face Pitting

[cjkostic]

This Model 700 started life as a 22-250 (400 rounds) and now lives on as a 22BR. I had this rifle listed for sale in the classifieds here and the question was asked if that was bolt face pitting seen in a photo. I did not notice it, but see it now. From a purely safety standpoint, is this OK to continue shooting or does it need to be repaired/replaced?

Ok to shoot.

You might want to switch up on primers, those are flame cuts from the radius on the primer cup failing.

Uhh, you may also want to learn to clean and properly lube bolt lugs.

No safety issues at all.

Only take you a minute to explain the proper way.
