452 Bolt

[Avro_Canuck]

Hello people,

Sorry for the rookie question -- I'm relatively new to rifle ownership. I just noticed that the bolt of my CZ 452 seems to be speckled with shiny and dull parts, almost like the chrome (or whatever the shiny stuff is) is gradually being eaten or scratched away in places. It's not rust, and the bolt still looks and feels completely smooth. Is this something I should worry about, or does this sort of patchy dulling just happen with time and use?

Thanks!

C.

no worries, its the metal getting worked in from the mechanics of the bolt cycling movement. Just make sure you maintain it. Clean & oil and your good for a lifetime of .22 fun.
