Ringing Bolt

[jabberjaw112]

Quick question, recently purchased M14 S from Marstar.Shoots surplus rounds as advertized. Laz in his FAQ post says something about a Singing Bolt. When I release my bolt It carries a tone quite loud and long. I am unfamiliar with modern MBRs.
I know that a knife of fine quality will ring, so here is the rub, same for rifles
P.S. My Question mark button doesnèt work , nor the apostrophy one.
Thanx C.

"...My Question mark button doesnèt work..." You've got the French key board installed. One of the 'F' keys will fix it. Might be a couple of keys. Shift and an F key for example. Naturally, I don't remember which one. Rummage around in the properties of your key board in Control Panel.

Put my short M-14S together today without my flash hider and no ring.Put my Dlask vortec on and we have ring.5 second ring.So I guess my vortec is also a tuning fork.

It's always the flash suppressor that acts as a tuning fork. Actually for the Dlask and also SEI Vortex owners, just rub your fingers along it and you'll hear the faint ring.
