This bolt came with my old Saturn/Liberty 18 inch barrel from Midway USA. I have shot about 250 rounds of factory and reloaded ammo with this barrel/bolt combo before tearing down the upper and retiring the barrel and bolt to my safe. I decided to build a upper with this barrel/bolt and was in the process of cleaning the BCG when I found the wear on the lugs.
This barrel has a mid length gas system and the gas port is oversized at .094 so the barrel was wearing a adjustable gas block from the beginning. The chamber is good with factory ammo and I have not had any problems with my reloads. Very accurate barrel.
Is this bolt safe to shoot with this barrel or should I get another bolt? I have 2 other Grendel's and those bolts show zero wear.
