Do you want to see for yourself?

IF you have a AR boltface you want to replace, AND some Remington 6½ small rifle primers, load some max loads in .223 brass, then shoot about 20 of them. Those Rem. primers will pierce at the edge of the FP dent, the flame cutting around the FP hole in the boltface will be easily seen. ASK ME HOW I KNOW! It cost me a new bolt for my buddies AR. Worst part was paying for something I didn't then get to use.

I never borrow something I can't afford to own if I damage something. I expect the same from anybody else I loan something to.
