Thanks guys. That is a relief. I was honestly puzzled about what part of the extension might be contacting, since obviously it's the back of the lugs that bear the force. I thought the fronts only touched air! Hah. I'd just never noticed that kind of wear form on any of my 5.56 bolts.
That's what I get for watching so many SOTAR videos lately! That guy has me wondering about every little thing. No regrets on pulling my rifle apart. Been wanting to do that with a few of them anyway.
On to the bedding question I slipped in, if you don't mind. Anyone ever learn to regret bedding their AR barrel using Loctite 620? I've used their 680 before (still have some) and know how solid you can lock parts together. Taking it apart at some point later might be a challenge.
