Is the bolt head OD supposed to look like a beaver was nibbling on it? The Canadian touch?
I got my NEA-15 in 2015 X'mas boxing deal. It is a 7.5" barrel and the cal is 7.62x39. It is gen II. Go though 600 rds rapid fire (and ran out all ammo). NO-ONE-SHOT jam. Is beautiful!!! I love it!

Are you referring to the rounded front face of the lugs?

I want to say that was a KAC innovation but am not 100% on that. It actually makes some sense as it prevents the lugs hanging up on the back of the bolt extension. The front face of the lugs has no involvement in the locking process so really doesn't matter what shape they are.

For sure KAC went to rounded radii at the lug to body transition, which also makes a lot of sense as it prevents stress cracking at the 90 degree.
