Anyone had trouble with lugs galling on a BAT action? My BAT MB has only 1400 rounds on it and the lugs on the bolt are galled terribly. I noticed the first signs of galling about 500 rounds ago. I'm not very happy about this. I have cleaned and lubed the action every 50 rounds and it shouldn't be doing this. The action was purchased from Bruno Shooters in April.
My first custom action was by Pierce Engineering in Lansing, MI and I had a .243 barrel on it. I ran 2100 rounds through the .243 barrel and replaced it with a 6BR. I've run 1300 rounds through it as a 6 for a total of 3400 rounds on the action and the bolt lugs still look new. I used the same cleaning and lubing regimen of every 50 rounds on the Pierce. Why is the BAT not holding up as well?
