This guy has what he says is a "rare HRA bolt". Some want this not discussed and others want the light of day on it. The whole thing reminds me of a certain "Number 2" incident at the North Store.
While I would contact CS first, I would certainly openly discuss the issue on the forum. For some posters to say nobody knows what happened so delete the thread, well the purchaser does know this: He bought a particular rifle with a particular bolt that was switched out prior to shipping. I find it interesting that the thread opened on the 9th and no one from CMP has yet to chim in. ... and Foggy at his best!
What I want to know is "whats a rare HRA Bolt"
Or Stu winning the Summer Postal Shoot :) Sorry, I couldnt help myself:)Quote:

So we have the "rare HRA bolt incident", the "Number 2 incident" and the "Cherry Picking incident". Seems like a lot going on over at the ole CMP.

The famous Krag incident will forever haunt Orlando though. Hell, it haunts me LOL.
Now, on the rare bolt, is there a hart bolt like a hart HRA trigger housing?
My guess is that it is a HRA bolt marked with U.W.Quote:

This source says the U.W. stands for Universal Windings of Rhode Island
IF my reference book is right then this would make the bolt less used than the other two.
I'm afraid to ask, but since this is not the war room I feel safe, but what is the #2 incident?
I've been following that thread with some amusement. The CMP drones are grovelling on their knees for it to be locked/banished etc. before it tarnishes the god-like image they have of the organization.
But I think he guy has a legit beef. I've never been to either store (800+ miles) so I don't get the part about hand picking them and then shipping them home rather than carrying them out the door with him. BUT, I know damn well that I would be able to tell if I had personally hand picked an HRA and an SA and two SA's showed up. And I would be pissed. Especially since he planned on swapping them to make both more correct. And went to the trouble of getting contact info for obtaining another bolt. That doesn't sound like somebody that would look at one rifle and buy another.
Why the CMP goes out of it's way to deliberatly mix bolts and op-rods up when they put them back together makes no sense, but I've got a couple that were the same way. 5 minutes on the bench and they were both as they were meant to be. Maybe that is the plan. Get us all to but more to swap the parts back around. :0)
