Chipped bolt lug help

[Reaper 31]

Noticed the rear part of the bolt lug is chipped after a range session today. Wondering if this is a big deal and what the remedy is? I do keep the lugs greased up so not sure what happened
This is on a trued 700. Hopefully ya'll can make out the picture. Anything helps, thanks

The remedy would be to braze on a new bolt nose or buy a new bolt.
I would have the lugs checked for hardness, likely won't have an effect, but it would bug me.

Thinking this might be a nice time and just get a replacement like the Mack Bros they have in stock. I already have their short action and am happy with it

Some custom rifle builders charge for a chip like that. You might dress it up a little with a file.

Why isn't the chipped area shiny, are you sure this is new?

Ya'll know that's normal right? It helps the bolt align with the anti-binding bolt guide in the receiver as you're pulling the bolt back. That's why it's blued like the rest of the bolt is.

Honestly since it's on the back of the lugs I'm not overly concerned as much now. Sounds just cosmetic

 

[bigdibbs88]

likely cosmetic, but for a cheap replacement why not

It came like that from the factory. Move on.

LOL, sure send me that chipped 700 bolt I collect them.

Ummm, yeah, but that's the mating surface with the lug in the action body.

I would be less concerned if the "chip" was in the front of the bolt lug.

What am I missing ?

I’m not sure what chips even actually being pointed out. If it’s the angled surfaces on the antibind rail then that’s normal as has been said.

If you have another chip we aren’t seeing point it out because what you have circled is intentional. Nothing should be standing up proud of the back surface of the lug.

I'm baffled i didn't notice this before My years in having this action it never stood out to me. Either way I'm going with the consensus and driving on. I do appreciate everyone's response.
