With the AR15, the blast goes down the mag well most of the time, unless you're really brave/stupid, and you fragment your bolt carrier and upper receiver outwards.
so a few features about the Howa bolt.
2 locking lugs
3 pressure vent holes in the bolt body
forged one-peice bolt and handle (not brazed on or welded like some companies)
bolt handle itself acts as a third locking lug when closed.
m16 style external extractor and internal plunger ejector.
the receivers are also forged one piece flat bottom receiver with an integral recoil lug. these things are over built in comparison to some other bolt gun offerings.
