New shorty M305 receiver "discolouration"/birthmark kinda thing... whats the deal?!

What would you consider more critical. Good lug bearing, or tighter head spacing? Fitting two different bolts in my receiver; bolt 1 headspaces at about 1.636 with good lug bearing. Bolt 2 is a little tighter at 1.634 but with inferior lug bearing.
 
To me lug bearing is where its at. Think safety. Lots of rounds through these rifles with large head spacing and no big issues. Think about poor lug bearing and then think where your face is located.
 
Thomas, or anyone who might know, are all the 2011 recievers the same spec as the Doc's shorties? I might just grab a G.I. length nork to piss my Garand off, would be cool to get a match chamber with cheap parts :)

No there are multiple small differances between the rifles that CanAm sell as there shorties and the chop barrel mod that the Doc provides for customers as an aftermarket mod.

Just a FYI, I'm not accepting anymore riflework. I have also closed the CQB stock preorder deal as I have surpassed 50 orders and need to get thru them all. M14Doctor as the CGN dealer entity you all know, will cease operations as of June 30th.

As for the question about dimensions... No comment other than to say that it's from china.... Don't expect anything to be the same, even in the same serial number ranges ;)

As I have mentioned in the past at my clinics... all depends on which high school shop class put your rifle together and on which day of the week it happened. Friday or Monday, take yer pick.

Frankly, I am due for another one... this time a shorty! :p

Cheers,
Barney
