Kracked Lugs?
Anyone ever come across a cracked lug on a bolt?
I contend that the likelihood of finding one is nigh on to nill.
They cracked in service. While in service they were fixed as was the load that did the deed.
Since that happened we have a greater variety of powders that push bullets faster and gentler and commercial loads have always been within pressures that our Krags can withstand, thus my contention. This does not rule out the odd handloader that over does it.
So: who among us has ever encountered a cracked lug on a bolt?
Thanks,
Mark
